8 McAfee Anti-Theft

Working with vaults

Vaults are secured folders that prevent hackers and other users

from getting access to the files stored inside them. A vault

behaves just like a Windows folder; for example, you can

double-click a vault to open it and right-click it to view its various

menu options. However, unlike a regular folder the vault is

password-protected.

Use this section to find out how to work with vaults.

Create a vault

The Create option allows you to create a new vault. You can

create many vaults depending on your requirements. All new

vaults are locked by default.

1 Open McAfee Anti-Theft by double-clicking the McAfee

Anti-Theft icon on your desktop.

2 In the top toolbar on the right pane, click Create to start the

Create New Vault wizard.

3 Enter the name of vault in the Name box.

4 Move the slider to specify the size of the vault.

5 Enter a password for the vault in the Password box.

6 Re-enter the password in the Confirm Password box, and

then click Next.

7 To start working with the vault, click Yes, I want to unlock it

(vault name). To leave the vault locked for the time being,

click No, I want to leave it locked.

Note: The Password Strength indicator denotes how strong

your password is; that is, if it contains just alphabetic characters

then it may be considered weak, and if it contains alphabetic and

numeric characters then it will be considered strong.

Vault specifics

Vaults have a minimum size of 50 megabytes and you can

increase the vault size to up to 4 gigabytes. To create a vault larger

than 4 gigabytes, see

Creating a vault larger than 4 gigabytes

(page 9).

With McAfee Anti-Theft, any vaults you create are associated with

your Windows user account. For more information, see

Windows

User Accounts and McAfee Anti-Theft

(page 7).
