Although Microsoft Windows offers to protect your files and folders with security permissions, this system is vulnerable because if someone manages to get the administrator’s password, that person can override the permissions and get access to protected stuff. This risk is even higher when your computer belongs to a domain because the network administrator can access your secrets with just a few clicks.
Toolwiz BSafe will help you protect your privacy by creating virtual encrypted drives. You will probably find no difficulty creating a virtual safe to protect your data. An advantage of this application is that you can camouflage a Toolwiz BSafe file with any file extension and no one will know there is data hidden there. For example, you can create a new safe and name it “myfile.doc” to make it look as a Word document. The created files will be password-protected and encrypted with the 256-AES system.
Using encrypted drives is not difficult either; you can mount a safe file the same way you mount an ISO image on any other virtual drive application. However, you will not be able to mount it unless you provide the configured password. Once mounted, the virtual safe will appear as a regular drive so you will be able to create folders in it. Data will be encrypted on-the-fly, which means the encryption process will leave no traces whatsoever. In addition, safes can be moved and opened on another computer as long as Toolwiz BSafe is installed there. A limitation is that the system treats safes as regular files, so they can be moved or deleted at any time.
In general, Toolwiz BSafe is a useful freeware application that will protect your privacy easily.
