A Little Bit More Security October 11, 2008
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I have never used an `anti-theft' or `vault' program before, so I was a little slow on the uptake. It's fairly simple if you follow the steps carefully. The program asks you to create three answers to three questions for security for your one password. You can then create as many secure `vaults' as you want, but you have to predetermine, or guess, how many MB each vault will be to hold your information. McAfee automatically assigns a letter for each vault (it looks like another drive; i.e. Z, Y or X, etc.) 4GB is the maximum for each vault, but I found that to be very generous unless you are securing a great many photographs. Here's a clue - there are a lot of `off-site' photography websites (like Kodak) that will store your photographs for free. They are supposedly secure.
I have an external 4GB USB drive, so that works perfectly if I want to transfer between my desktop and laptop. A word of caution: Carefully plan ahead what documents you want to transfer into a vault, as you should delete them from your computer's hard drive AFTER you place them in a vault. There is a potential to lose your documents, if they are not transferred properly.
To be honest, I don't have a great deal of personal information on my computer that is able to be stolen. Here is what I did transfer to a vault; all my credit card information, my tax information and my `Last Will & Testament'. I'm sure I will find more uses in the future.
On the last note, I am disturbed that most of the new software programs do not come with small manuals for instructions. You need to print out the 23-page instruction manual for this - it is not that intuitive. You do need to know what you are doing. Next time someone tries to hack into my computer (it happened once); I'll feel a lot better. I'll have to see if I will renew my subscription in a year. McAfee guaranteed me that I could still access my vault information if I do not renew.
