What is a .TC file?
A .TC file is a type of file known as a TrueCrypt Volume. It's like a secure, locked box on your computer where you can keep files safe. TrueCrypt, the software that makes these files, is a special program designed to protect your information. It works by encrypting, or scrambling, the data so that only someone with the right key (like a password) can see what's inside. This encryption happens in real-time, which means it locks and unlocks files quickly as you use them, without slowing you down.
However, it's important to know that TrueCrypt is no longer being updated. This means that even though you can still use it to open and create .TC files, there's no support if you run into problems, and it might not be as secure against new threats. If you have a .TC file, you would need to use the TrueCrypt program to open it, but since TrueCrypt is discontinued, you might want to look into other modern encryption software to manage or convert your encrypted volumes for better security and support.
