Hi there,
I've been trying out File Vault but I don't quite understand it and wondered if anyone could explain it to me.
I've encrypted my Home Folder (which is apparently good if anyone steals my laptop) but as far as I can see, my Home Folder is still easily accessible but none of my documents can be searched for on Spotlight. So how does it work? How does it keep people out and is it worth turning on?
Thanks
