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.

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).
