BSafe encryption is 256 AES. And I use 42 characters long password.

Yeah that seems to be a good fit. Truecrypt would be if you want to encrypt your whole drive on the fly. If your just looking for keep a few documents safe, then what your using is fine.

Thanks adult. How many characters of password do you use yourself in your encryption software/cloud storage/etc?

I have Skydrive but I don't use it at the moment so there's nothing to protect . I don't use encryption my friend, but if I did I probably use Windows built-in encryption.

I don't know the program but reading about it on their site, it looks OK. I use Truecrypt the same way - just to access password protected container with personal files. I don't use it to encrypt whole drive or thumbdrives.

Two Quick Suggestions:
1. Replace MSE with Avast Free Antivirus
2. Use Online Armor Free instead of Windows Firewall

Very happy with what's in my sig, best combo I have ever implemented.

It's light on the system, and works very nice
