Please be aware that the DESlock+ Virtual Disk works differently than the standard encrypted folders in that the required encryption key is cached for the duration the drive is mounted.
This means that performance of the drive is faster than it would be with a normal encrypted folder.
However, it means that the drive may continue to be available even if DESlock+ is deactivated. The automatic dismount option can be used to attempt to dismount the drive on deactivation of DESlock+.
The encryption key is only required to mount the drive, but once mounted files can be accessed without using DESlock+ again. This means the files are accessible until the drive is dismounted.
Please be aware therefore, that once mounted unless the drive is dismounted any user can access the drive even if DESlock+ has been deactivated.
