I'm not sure whether or not this is snake oil but it
definitely sounds like it:

"There exists NO method to crack the implemented polymorphic algorithm, a 
high-performance machine code implementation of the Polymorphic 
Encryption Method."  

and

"256 bit encryption is regarded as practically and theoretically safe by 
all serious crypto experts for the next hundred trillion years years or 
more. Even computers having the size of the rocky mountains and computing 
at the speed of light would take millions of years to crack the 256 bit 
cipher which is implemented in the Professional Edition of BPP Disk."  

Oh yes, they *do* have a product out there:

Cheers,
