The world of hacking is scary ... very scary. I have stories that would blow your mind as to how ruthless hackers have become. I would also recommend that you also invest in a whole-disk encryption package as well. If your laptop walks off, or if you have a USB thumb drive walk off... could you afford that data to be lost?

Let me know if you'd like me to help. Gosh, as a security guy, I have to say… please please please have some anti-virus package on your machine.
