In reference to Jim...
Has no one ever heard of PGP? Honestly, what the hell? I run PGPMail, encrypt any file of any extension that might be even remotely important, and for a time used PGP secured AIM. My PGP key was gigantic, like 2048 bits. Good luck cracking that...
Why, do people with SENSITIVE INFORMATION ON THEIR COPMUTERS, not encrypt it? If that guy at the bank had secured his data, it really wouldn't have mattered if someone stole it (if there was a backup) because...no one would be able to read it anyhow.
I'm going to rant, so I'll stop, but as a general rule..if you have something important, secure it.
