Sure, if you only intend to keep your kids outta yer stuff. This is the
digital equivalent of a trunk with a false bottom.
Furthermore, the software is back-doored: see the mention in the
documentation as well as on the author's web page:
7) SUPPORT
----------
- In case of malfunction, or missing files errors, go to Support page on
the web site.
- Forget your secret code ? contact me.
I'd wager your secret code is stored in the 'encrypted' file -- if that were

No 'security consultant' worth his salt would recommend something this lame.
