Why should I get invited to back up the encryption keys

Running Vista Ultimate today downloaded a program called "Win32 Image writer" in order to write an ISO on a USB key file.

I was unable to "just run the utility" as stated in the note "readme", just kept flashing to a BACK window when you try to run it.

Tried to remove the program, but was told repeatedly that it was in use.

Since that time I keep getting warnings of dire consequences if I don't support up to my encryption key.

Restarted my PC and then managed to 'Remove the shift' all partners/records, some of whom are green in the Explorer tree.

I've learned since that denotes encrypted files!

I never asked to be encrypted, and now they are gone I always tells me to save these keys.

I see that I have no other files encrypted on my machine.

Can someone help me get rid of this warning, or tell me how to check if my machine has all of the encrypted files?

Thanks Anil, but your statement:-"There is a possibility that the encryption keys are not recognized by the files."

Implies that I have some encrypted files!

This is the point, I have never actively sought encryption of one of my files.

Encrypted files, I saw in the Explorer (shown in green) have been created by a program called "Win32 Image writer", which I had downloaded in order to write a file ISO of Linux on a USB.

Immediately this program has been installed these encrypted files appeared and started to the harassing!

I have no idea why the program should act with such stealth, I suspect it was something bad!

I was totally unable to launch the application and decided to remove it, but it has not been listed as being installed in Progs & features and since there is no "Uninstall" file, I was reduced to "Move/remove" program folder and subfolders encrypted.

After the second reboot, I had no other please "backup encryption keys", and I see there is no other "green" article in the Explorer tree.

I am pretty sure that I eradicated the problem, unless there is a way I can force the system to show me if there are other encrypted items.

  • Unexpected Windows 7 Pro Message on encryption of files, asking Me to back up the encryption key and password

    Have a desktop HP 590 t 2 - months old, Win 7 Pro 64-bit running.  Two days ago, I received an unexpected pop-up Windows message, saying something like "Files EFS in Windows."  When I click on it, I get 3 options:

    1 certificate of encryption and the emergency key and create the password
    2 ask me later
    3. do nothing... If you don't back up your key and the password, you will not be able to access the files.

    What is strange, is that I did nothing (that I know) which would cause no files to encrypt.  I don't know yet what it is, other than what I read in the help Windows.  I called HP Tech Support, they advised me to choose "REMIND ME LATER", that's what I selected.

    After that I turned the computer off yesterday morning, then turned it back last night, I had the same command prompt.  But he appeared at the start, then went off on his own.  I did have to choose anything.

    Since it is a new computer, I was installing software, but legitimate all software, such as Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Dreamweaver, etc..

    Here are my questions:

    1 - is Windows, or could some software I have installed, start encrypting files ON it's OWN?  I thought files could only be encrypted if I expressly and explicitly started encryption of files.

    2. is there a say if all the files on my computer are encrypted?

    3 is it normal that Windows prompts you on file encryption, after so many weeks or months of use?

    4. is there a way to get Windows to stop for prompting me on this subject?

    I read another post where someone said the same thing.  'Out of the blue", they got the same message, I did it.  There was no response to this post.  Appreciate any advice on what it means.  Thank you

    Thanks for the tips.  I think I may know what it is.  It could be the edition of SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer, I had installed recently.  Apparently, it encrypts certain files as part of its operation.  I read where it makes the encryption/decryption of files in real time.  I hope it's something 'internal' for SQL Server and will not affect anything else on my PC.  I use SQL Server 2000 on Windows XP for 10 years and has never seen this message.  Was only my PC Win7 64 bit for 2 months, so am always install software.

    If the OS Win7 can be noticed this and simply prompting me for a key.  I don't know if I should get just a key/password or not, just to be safe.

    But the message popped up when I used an option in a program to copy files to an external flash drive.  I checked, and none of the files on the flash drive, or in the folder root of the program on the desktop are encrypted.  So the time the message appeared might be a coincidence, as the copy of files from the flash drive.

    So far, everything works OK and have only seen the message once more, when I restarted Friday, then the message disappeared on its own.  Have not restarted since then but little time.

    If he continues to appear, will try your suggestion.  Thank you very much
