Hide Folder is a secure and user-friendly program that password-protects files, folders and discs. It prevents unauthorized access to important information and programs for every user. Hide Folder protected folders can be completely invisible, inaccessible or accessible in read-only mode. Folder data can be encrypted with one of 9 cryptologic algorithms (BLOWFISH, CAST, COBRA128, PC1, SERPENT, RIJNDAEL(AES), TMS, TRIPLE-DES, TWOFISH). Protected folders and their contents cannot be renamed, modified, deleted, copied, moved, accessed or even seen on the system by other users.
