I personally use Cryp 3 which uses 256bit AES encryption and is free, well… it’s a shareware. It’s fast, safe and reliable.

I use the DMG password protect method. I open it when I need it, eject it when I don’t. You can password protect a thumb drive by putting the DMG onto the thumbdrive. Now you can take it with you, but to only other Macs.

Any one know of a program for Windows that allows you to read password proctected DMG files?

As a note, this program just makes the folder name star with a ., which is standard unix for hidden. If you go to the terminal and type ls -a you can see all the hidden files. You can get to the hidden folder in the Finder by going to the directory it is in, then Go->Go to Folder then enter .foldername

Also, you probably should trust the password protection very much. While I cant test it because it requires registration to do it, it is likely (and programs in the past have done it this way) that the the protection is only enforced in the program, so you can still access the folder in the Finder or Terminal.
