[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 759444, member: 32547"] OK, I got an error message that the disk was not accessible in admin account. It wanted to install to the normal path on the main root in Program Files, so I tried again, and it worked. This app is really simple. Use the application to encrypt single files, and the file cannot be accessed by any application. The encrypt/decrypt key is sent by Qihoo via e-mail. When a file is selected from the GUI, file disappears from its location and appears in the "Encryped files" list in the GUI. You use the code to decrypt any time you want to work on the file or edit etc. Inconvenient and a little bit sketchy since the file is unencrypted and returned to its location when user/operator wants to look at it or edit such. As a result, the file is o/c exposed during that time. For files in long term storage this would be nice if it would encrypt entire directories, but the focus is only on single files as far as I can tell. I couldn't find a way to add a directory. All in all the 360 File Protection program is better, but also AppCheck free is a good solid layer of anti-rw to run with Qihoo, further making 360 Vault less interesting to me. This is especially true since I can use Easy File Locker to add protection for directories and I get the configurability to choose what apps can access the directory and in which ways. I think [USER=60675]@Sunshine-boy[/USER] said it best about EFL, however. It's not 100% clear that EFL cannot be stopped by malware, so it's definitely not perfect. I guess for my uses this would be a nevermind on this app, anyway. Too impractical for me (n)... [/QUOTE]
