[QUOTE="tim one, post: 579601, member: 25920"] You have to protect your data! I've installed Steganos Safe 17 and I have created a 35 GB (z) partition where I have a copy of all my sensitive data. Another backup of this data is on the external HDD. The (z) virtual partition is invisible and protected by a strong password and data are encrypted with AES 256-bit algorithm. No common ransomware or malware can access this partition and one option is to take advantage of a specific vulnerability of Steganos, rare but possible event. The other possibilities are malware that work at a low level on the HDD which can delete data, partitions and boot sector, and this is an event that is difficult due to my security setup. But also in this case I am protected because of my external backup. [/QUOTE]
