That is actually not good. I do not think it could be just Espionage itself, the process of encryption/decryption can be stressful on USB thumb drives (especially low quality ones). Please back up your Espionage folders on the USB drive to your local drive or to an external drive, just in case.

Can you download our diagnostics tool and run it for us. It'll send the report to us automatically after you enter some details in it. You can download it here:

Thanks!

Hi there,

I'm not sure what you have tried but can you open Espionage, unlock and then go to the Tools Menu > Ignore List. Remove Finder off this list if you see it and then try again on the USB drive. If that didn't work, can you tell me if there are any applications on that list, like Disk Mounter?

Hi Dave,

On behalf of Marty and Greg, you're welcome.

If we can be of further assistance, just let us know!

Hi dekket,

Here's the list of files and paths that Opera uses for their browser:
http://www.opera.com/docs/operafiles/ [Look at the Mac specific ones]

That should give you all the information you'd need to secure Opera. You might want to be careful and only encrypt folders specific to Opera and not system folders or files that are used by the OS X such as the:
~/Library/Preferences [This is a system folder]

There is also no need to encrypt your Opera.app package as it is not intended to be used to write your private user data information in there.

We'll consider your request for having an app template for Opera. Thank you for suggesting it.

Hi Tito, thanks for the new post with the information. I updated your original post to link to the new post.

PS: What about the uploaded documents on dropbox? I would like to delete them, but then others wont be able to see them. So what can we do?
Update: I mean my screenshots and the 2 screen-videos.

Hi Tito, you can delete them if you want to. You can upload one or two files as an attachment to the post instead of hosting them on Dropbox.com. When you edit the original post in this forum to remove the links, you can upload the files there. It'd be nice if you share some lines from the log file inside the post instead of an uploaded file, so that others can search for that error via the forum's search engine (which doesn't search the file attachments).

To make it more clear,

Anybody with a physical access to your Mac can break into it but they can't break into any encrypted data. They can create a new root user or change the password of the root and use it to change the permission of the original owner's files/folders to view it but they can't use that new root account to break into your encrypted keychain or any encrypted data. By default, OS X doesn't encrypt anything other than some of your contents in your keychain.

If the user had Espionage installed, it doesn't matter what the hackers does, they can change the permission of the folders  all they want but they still can't get into it because they need the original password for the folders. It is not possible to reset those folder passwords without the original ones regardless of who accesses it or who it belongs to.

The other thing that Espionage does is that it'll automatically lock upon closing of any applications that uses the specific folder, which means that you do not have to worry about locking it once you close the application. Espionage will generally alert you when the folder is auto-locked.
