With the amount of hackers or data thieves out there we can never be too precautious when it comes to our sensitive data. There is a freeware program that allows you to encrypt data within a folder and the only way to access it is by knowing the correct password that you created for said folder or directory. You can then mount the protected directory to a certain driver letter where it will act as a personal safe if you will for all your data.

Any easy tutorial to setup your encrypted directory can be found here.
