like any other folder in Windows Explorer, the difference being, a
password must be entered to retrieve the contents.
If more than one person uses your computer, we recommend
that you create unique Windows user accounts for each one to
minimize the risk of a user accidentally deleting a vault.
With McAfee Anti-Theft, any vaults you create are associated with
your Windows user account. This means that users who access
your computer using your Windows user account can see and
delete your vaults, but cannot access the files inside locked
vaults.
We also recommend that you back up your vaults. For more
