Syncronsys [sp?] Software is the maker of SoftRam95, a program that
supposedly doubled your memory through memory compression and other
quasi-magical means. It was later revealed that not only did it not
work as advertised, but it actually did not do anything at all
(except display graphs indicating non-existant improvements). IIRC,
they lost a class action suit over this issue.
I would trust an encryption program relased to the public by the NSA
more than anything these charlatans released.

I consider PGP to be robust, easy-to-use (with some front-end
assistance), and secure. However, I am by no means an authority on
crypto.
