Acer eDataSecurity Management
Acer eDataSecurity Management is handy file encryption utility that protexts your files from being accessed by
unauthorized persons. It is conveniently integrated with Windows explorer as a shell extension for quick and
easy data encryption/decryption and also supports on-the-fly file encryption for MSN Messager and Microsoft
Outlook.
The Acer eDataSecurity Management setup wizard will prompt you for a suvervisor password and default
encryption. This encryption will be used to encrypt files by default, or you can choose to enter your won file-
specific password when encrypting a file.
NOTE: The password used encrypt a file is the unique key that the system needs to decrypt it. If you lose the
password, the supervisor password is the only other key capable of decrypting the file. If you lose both
passwords, there will be no way to decrypt your encryped file! Be sure to safeguard all related
passwords!
