Acer eDataSecurity Management

Acer eDataSecurity Management is handy file encryption utility that protects your files from
being accessed by unauthorized persons. It is conveniently integrated with Windows explorer as
a shell extension for quick and easy data encryption/decryption and also supports on-the-fly file
encryption for MSN Messenger and Microsoft Outlook.
The Acer eDataSecurity Management setup wizard will prompt you for a supervisor password
and default encryption. This encryption will be used to encrypt files by default, or you can choose
to enter your won file-specific password when encrypting a file.
Note:
The password used encrypt a file is the unique key that the system needs to decrypt it. If you lose
the password, the supervisor password is the only other key capable of decrypting the file. If you lose
both passwords, there will be no way to decrypt your encrypted file! Be sure to safeguard all
related passwords!
