Encryption Plus Hard Disk
from GuardianEdge Technologies Inc.
Overview
Encryption Plus Hard Disk is a software program developed by GuardianEdge Technologies. The most common release is 7.2.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named launchephd.exe. The setup package generally installs about 27 files and is usually about 8.36 MB (8,771,192 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows XP. Most users that have installed this software come from the United States.
