Will LiveVault increase my exposure to viruses?

Absolutely not. Customer data only resides (encrypted) on LiveVault Vaults. On these vaults, no files are ever or could ever be opened and no files are ever executed. As a result, no viruses can ever be spread on a vault from either outside sources or from other customer's data.

Because of this, the vaults do not run anti-virus software (this would entail reading and modifying customer files, which we don't do). However, the systems that support the vaults do run anti-virus software and other appropriate protection measures are in place.
