If you're paranoid about your computer falling into the wrong hands, or just want to keep some data private, you can check out CryptoExpert Lite, a free program that lets you create secure virtual hard drives on your PC. Drives are encrypted and locked with a password of your choosing, and any files you create or drag into them are encrypted as well. The free program lacks some features that the $60 CryptoExpert Pro offers, but for basic security, the Lite version is probably all you'll need.
