Vista - Why is vista suddenly asking me to backup my encrypting file systemkey?

douggoogle n/a posts	Why is vista suddenly asking me to backup my encrypting file systemkey? I haven't set up any encrypting file systems, but suddenly, vista (32 bit, premium) is asking me to back up my encrypting file system key. Any ideas as to why? Any way to find out what's actually encrypted? I'm worried that some malware has encrypted something or the like.
