Here's another approach to securing your data
via securitymonkey:
A program called Private Disk seems like a me-too product at first, except that it has one extra cool feature. You can set access to a virtual disk on a program-by-program basis. You can tell it, for example, that only Quicken can read the encrypted disk where your Quicken files are.
I haven't used Private Disk, so check reviews and commentary carefully before you try it, and for heaven's sake keep good backups. If crypto software goes bad (bugs, power cords knocked out at the wrong time, etc.) it's likely to make your data completely unrecoverable.
