Trend Micro Vault helps keep your important and sensitive files secured on Windows even when your computer gets lost or stolen.

How does it work?

• A password is needed to access files in the Vault.
• After receiving a Stolen Report, Trend Micro seals the vault right away.

Set Up Trend Micro Vault

1. Open Trend Micro, then click the Data tab.

   

2. Click Configure beside Vault.

   

3. Read the introduction, the click OK.

   Put a check beside Don't show this introduction again before clicking OK if you do not want to see this window every time you configure the Vault.

4. Set up a password, then click Create.

   

   This password is also the same as your:

   • Program password
   • Parental Controls password
   • Data Theft Prevention password

   Click OK to close the window.

6. Drag your important files to the Trend Micro Vault icon you see on your desktop.

   

   Dragging these items into the Vault will move them instead of just copying them.
