Hello,

A file has the following properties:

- trusted
- not-secured
- not allowed to be modified by untrusted.

What would the additional protection if the file was secured?

Untrusted applications cannot modify nor access secured file(s).

I do not agree with your answer.

A not-secured file is also protected by the untrusted application. Fortunately. Otherwise all important files (eg system files) should be protected. I have no file secured.

Take a look to the properties: the file is not-secured AND "not allowed to be modified by untrusted."

Try this:

A file has the properties: non-secured AND "not allowed to be modified by untrusted. This file is in the folder (also not-secured).

This file can not be replaced by another (same name) which would be in an untrusted program.

Hi,

if you have a file eg. test1.txt and this file is in your Secured Files - you can't: open/view nor modified this file by any Untrusted application.

You have also second file eg. test2.txt and this file has attributes:
- trusted
- not-secured
- not allowed to be modified by untrusted.
This file test2.txt can be open/view by Untrusted applications but can not be modified by them.

The same scenario you have if your third file eg. test3.txt has attributes:
- untrusted
- not-secured
- not allowed to be modified by untrusted.

Ah.. Creer was faster. Ignore this post.

Creer, thank you for your explanations clear and precise

You are welcome

Small remark.

I think the property not-secured is not very clear.

"Not-secured" should be call "Secured normally" and "Secured" should be call "Secured +" (for example).
