Getting Started with McAfee Internet Security 5.0
Using File Encryption
File encryption translates a file into a “secret” code that makes the file
unreadable. You must decode or decrypt the file before you can use it. The file
encryption in McAfee Internet Security is designed so that you can easily
encrypt or decrypt all of the files that you designate for encryption in File
Guardian.
Before you can encrypt a file, you must add it to the Guarded Files list in File
Guardian. For step-by-step instructions on adding a file to the Guarded Files
list, see McAfee Internet Security Help.
To encrypt or decrypt files
n Right-click the McAfee Guardian icon on the Windows taskbar, then
click Encrypt File Guardian files or Decrypt File Guardian files.
