> Advisory:
>
> PGP Corporation does not recommend using PGP® Desktop with Mac OS X  
> 10.6 at this time, neither the 32 bit nor 64 bit versions of Snow  
> Leopard are currently supported by PGP Corporation. This includes  
> PGP® Whole Disk Encryption, PGP® Desktop Professional, PGP® Desktop

>
> This email is to advise you that if you are running PGP® Whole Disk  
> Encryption, PGP® Desktop Professional, PGP® Desktop Home or PGP®  
> Desktop Email, you should NOT upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
>
> If you intend to upgrade to Snow Leopard, you must decrypt all PGP®  
> encrypted drives and uninstall PGP® Desktop before upgrading the  
> system to Mac OS X 10.6.
>
> After upgrading your system you should not attempt to re-encrypt any  
> disks with PGP® Whole Disk Encryption as it is likely to lead to  
> potential data loss or other system and data issues.
>
> We expect support for Mac OS X 10.6 to be available in the next

> PGP Corporation announced PGP WDE for Mac OS X last year - a native  
> Mac application that was designed from the ground up for the Mac.   
> PGP Corporation is committed to providing Macintosh users the best  
> possible encryption solutions and we’ve been building them since re- 
> starting the company in 2003.
>
> The overall experience of PGP WDE for Snow Leopard will be the  
> same.  You’ll notice PGP WDE for Mac OS X is controlled using PGP  
> Desktop, which can be expanded to secure email and files as well.
>
> Users of PGP WDE for Mac OS X will have a new pre-boot  
> authentication screen that protects access to the machine before the  
> operating system loads.   To see some of the work so far we have  
> posted screen shots to the PGP Perspectives blog.
