Removal of McAfee File Lock Vaults

I have total mcafee protection and do not have anything on the right pane or anywhere else.  Delete button can't work. Get error message that it can't be deleted

Re: Removal of McAfee File Lock Vaults

I moved this to its own thread as the one you posted to was years old and things have changed a lot in the interim.

Someone will hopefully drop in here from support but in case they don't here is the 24/7 phone contact for Anti-Theft Support

Number removed as product changed see last post.

If this is about something else then you need to spell out what the problem is and I will move this elsewhere accordingly.

Re: Removal of McAfee File Lock Vaults

What version of Anti-Theft is this, or are we talking about File Lock which is part of Total Protection?   Open SecurityCenter and click About and post the version.

Re: Removal of McAfee Anti Theft Vaults

Totally unable to delete vaults.  2 inn recycle bid 1 in my documents on the C drive.  Don't like them.  Too complicated to use.  Too many passwords, etc. to remember.

Re: Removal of McAfee File Lock Vaults

Do you have or have you ever had Anti-Theft installed?   It's a special application that only applies to machines which have a special Intel AT chip.

I think you may be talking about File Lock, which is an optional part of Total Protection, is that what it is and have you lost your password for File Lock Vaults?

The Help section of your Total Protection software has a user guide for File Lock.

Toi delete files you need to unlock them first, is that what is causing the difficulty?

Re: Removal of McAfee File Lock Vaults

OK I moved the entire thread to File Lock and altered all the headers accordingly.

The Help files sometimes take a  while to load.  Here's the equivalent FAQ from the online support site.  (Linked under Useful Links at the top of this page - Technical Support is free by phone or online chat)

How to reset a forgotten File Lock password.

Once unlocked the vaults can be deleted.
