I hear you buddy! I think the program Truecrypt is the easiest one to set up to encrypt your entire hard disk - the website itself contains some really simple step by step guides in the documentation section. If you get stuck I have a link to a video somewhere I can dig out which shows how to encrypt your machine, it is very easy - if it weren't I couldn't do it!

I am in no way tech savvy and honestly I'm just overwhelmed when I read about all these different security techniques because to me it's like someone speaking a foreign language! I don't get ANY of it! I've been here for a few months and I know I need to just sit down and commit a few hours to learning this stuff... both for my safety as well as the vendors I work with. It's all just so confusing!
