restore files from chest in safe mode

[DavidR]

The idea of the protected storage area of the chest, that from the outside of the chest, you can't see the original file name, so couldn't possibly run it, with the back-up of encryption even if they did manage to figure out what file was what.

That makes sense. Oh well, its been an interesting discussion. Thanks.

I do wonder if avast could make the chest available in safe mode in a future update, or if there's some inherent limitation that excludes this. igor??

Which leads me on to Tech's old chestnut of how do you get something out of the chest if something that you send there means you can't boot into normal mode and here you are you can't assess the chest to reverse the process

Thanks David.
A boot CD with the needed executables to decrypt the files is needed then (or make the Chest decrypt independent of the avast service, like a standalone crypt/decrypt). BART CD is not an option (due to price).
