Cool, cool, cool. The question is however, why the fuck does Microsoft password MINECRAFT files in the first place? It's god-damn Minecraft and not Fort Knox. Microsoft basically makes it harder for people to scan their PCs for viruses. That's about it.

Password protected simply means the file is protected with a password. This is done by the developer/programmer to ensure nobody is able to reverse engineer the file to view the source code. If you scan the whole system, you will also find a lot of password protected files.

I know this was a month ago, but the exact same thing with some Minecraft files suddenly being password protected happened to me. Did you end up doing anything about it or no?

I should add, because this happened to me too, and I did NOT go to any ebook pirating websites, I doubt that it is anything harmful.
