Using McAfee Anti-Theft

This section will take you through the initial setup of McAfee
Anti-Theft. The First-Use wizard starts as soon as you install the
product, and lets you create your first vault. Following that, you
can begin securing your important files.

McAfee Anti-Theft allows you to store a file within
password-protected folders. These folders are known as vaults
and they 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.
Note: Each vault also becomes a virtual drive and is automatically
designated the first free letter from the end of the alphabet (for
example, Z:\). If your computer already has a Z:\ drive it will
choose the next free letter (for example, Y:\). If your computer
has a Z:\ and a Y:\ drive, Anti-Theft will work its way through the
alphabet until it finds a free letter. You can access these drives by
double-clicking the McAfee Anti-Theft icon on your desktop or by
right-clicking the McAfee Anti-Theft icon in the notification area,
to the far right of your taskbar.
