What You Need to Know About Cache Security

During setup, PC-CacheFS creates a directory called CFS.SYS, which is located in the root directory of the selected cache drive. As you access information from the network and CD-ROM drives, PC-CacheFS retains this information in the CFS.SYS directory.

Users who are either permitted to use your personal computer, or who are granted network access, can look in the CFS.SYS directory and access any files and directories that you have cached there. These files may contain information to which they should not have access. For this reason, you should be cautious about the kinds of information you cache. Be sure you have cached only work-related, non-confidential information that can be viewed, without consequences, by users who share your computer or network.

To remove data from the cache directory, flush the cache. See "To Flush the Cache".

Do not to remove the CFS.SYS directory or modify any of the information it contains, as doing so may cause the removal or malfunction of the cache.
