Is this Community Edition Obfuscator any good?  Is there a good one or a
good method that doesn't cost so much money?
Thanks,
T

    It's very good, though you have to help it.

    One of the key things you have to do is to make as much classes and
methods PRIVATE or INTERNAL. This is essential. For example a .exe
project should have just all its classes internal and all methods
internal. This will give the obfuscator much more freedom to rename the
classes and methods.

It's pretty good, but then again it depends on how much obfuscation you
want. For instance it doesn't encrypt strings. But all in all, pretty much
bang for the buck

(As a humerous aside:) You could try using non normalized unicode strings as
in this approach:

It sure made my head hurt just to look at! It's just... so wrong at every
level.

That looks cool! I stared at it for at least a second before I realized all
the a's were different.
