Hide Folder is a secure and user-friendly program for password-protecting your important files, folders and discs. It prevents unauthorised access to your sensitive information and programs.

Hide Folder makes protected folders completely invisible, inaccessible or accessible in a read-only mode. The information can be encrypted with one of 9 cryptographic algorithms (TMS, BLOWFISH, CAST, COBRA, PC1, SERPENT, RIJNDAEL, TRIPLEDES, TWOFISH).

Protected folders and their contents are prevented from being renamed, modified, deleted, copied, moved, accessed or even seen on the system. Hide Folder 3.0 lets user specify some selected programs that are still allowed to access the protected areas (such as virus scanners, disk drive utilities, etc).
