Encryption is the ONLY way to effectively keep data from prying eyes. You know that HTTPS thing that happens when you connect to your banks website, or place an order online? HTTPS encrypts the content of the data traffic between your computer and the website, such that if someone were able to capture that traffic, they wouldn’t be able to decipher it, such that they could get any useful information from it. I’ve started a list of free encryption tools that will help you keep your passwords and hard drive data safe.
TrueCrypt - Free disk and thumbdrive encryption software (Windows, Mac, Linux)
Password Safe - Lock up your Passwords (Windows)
SafeHouse Explorer disk and thumbdrive encryption software (Windows)
