Security

[PcGk]

I am using a laptop and plan on having sensitive documents on it and access to my dropbox account. Aside from the windows login security, can anyone recommend how to make my laptop more secure? Basically, if my laptop gets stolen, I'd want my info protected (theif would have to reformat to use the device). Thanks

I would highly recommend a good Min. of 256 level Encryption program, something like PGP or some newer program.
