List of details how to protect

I want to know what's the best way to protect a .txt or .doc file with very sensitive data including passwords/pin's and stuff. I am currently using truecrypt for it but are there more safer solutions for it?

 

TrueCrypt sounds to me as the most sensible choice.

If the data to be kept is binary, I'd suggest a TrueCrypt container.

If the data is ASCII, I'd use the simpler, just-as-secure: fSekrit (free) (http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Other/fSekrit/); Steganos LockNote (free); or AI RoboForm (worth the small price).

 

wats the difference? im using notepad, is there a better alternative then notepad to store data.

 

I think it is also a good idea to use Keyscambler Premium http://www.qfxsoftware.com/, which works with truecrypt. I use it plus Zemana http://www.zemana.com/list/list.aspx?ktgr_id=354 which also blocks screen caps. Someone also said that Keyscrambler does not protect the clipboard but Zemana does. Then for added protection, use Neo Safekeys http://www.aplin.com.au/?page_id=246 , all on a sesame seed bun.
