This software allows you to create a protected virtual disk on your computer that is password-secured. Users without the password cannot access or view the files stored on it.

All your files are stored in an encrypted form on the virtual hard drive, and require password authentication to access. When an application requests any file, the software decrypts it on-the-fly for easy access. Conversely, any unencrypted data you want to store is encrypted immediately and then securely saved.
GiliSoft Private Disk creates a "virtual drive" that looks and behaves like any other physical drive, making it easy for users and applications to work with. Whenever you attempt to write any data to this drive, a kernel driver intercepts it, encrypts it, and saves it to the volume file. Meanwhile, when you try to read any data from the volume, the driver reads the relevant data, decrypts it, and presents it to the application.
When you need to protect the data, simply dismount the "virtual drive" and thus, no one can read or write to it. All data is stored encrypted within the "container" so, as far as Windows is concerned, it's just a 'new' disk that has suddenly appeared.
One of the best things about GiliSoft Private Disk is that the file system stays encrypted even after the software is closed or the volume is unmounted. That means your sensitive data stays secure and you can trust it won't be compromised by any external threat.
