Review by Ms. T

just like all McAfee products it suffers from poor OS integration and is a bloated round-about way of getting the job done. Windows XP itself will let you keep a folder private - maybe not super securely, but how many people are going to have a hacker in their home trying to get at their files? I was really wanting something that would let me share a folder on the network, but encrypt it and password protect it, so that I can access sensitive files on my desktop from my laptop - since I refuse to store sensitive information on a laptop that could be lost. As far as I can tell, you can’t access a vault remotely once it is set up, which is fine if you only use one computer, but in today’s world many people use more than one pc in their house. This also requires you to move the files to the vault (and you can’t pick the location of the vault as far as I could tell), which could cause problems for atuomated backups that are only looking in My Documents folder. I suppose you could use this to protect the information on the laptop and store it there, but I just wouldn’t trust any software to keep my sensitive financial data safe if the laptop got lost or stolen.
