PGP Support is the worst i have ever seen.
they are verry slow in fixing buggs, respond of a problems takes up to weeks.

the softwre is ok but for example apple mail is not supportetd, so if you want to encrypt a email no chance in apple mail....

the even dont know what is snow leopard so dont expect a update to work in snow leopard

PGP Desktop Home Review9.9.1 looks good so far - Version: 9.9.1, 2/11/2009 01:59AM PST

i've been using PGP products on and off for years, and like others i have had some problems with their bugs, user-hostile interfaces/installation procedures, and questionable support. i can't claim to have really put it through its paces yet, but i will say that so far, PGP Desktop Home 9.9.1 is the least problematic PGP product i've used. it installed properly the first time (*that's* never happened before) and i haven't yet seen any unexpected behaviors...all of which - especially in light of the nightmares wrought by my attempt to use the free, open-source substitutes (GPGThis, GPGThat, and GPGTheOtherThing) - are very welcome.

my experience isn't very extensive, but as far as it goes, it indicates that PGP's the security package to use. 9.9.1 appears solid, and the alternatives i've tried definitely suck.

good luck...

...attached as a PDF to the confirmation email from PGP, and you will find a non-expiring link.

I have never had the kind of problems with this product other people do. And I am not a moron, nor a PGP employee.
