Do laptop encryption programs like ZoneAlarm Datalock, really protect the data and files on your laptop from a thief being able to access the data and use it for id thief or put it on the web for all to download?
I am traveling more, and if my laptop gets stolen, I don?t want my data to be readable. ZoneAlarms Datalock laptop data encryption software seems to be what I want.

It does a pre-boot authentication with a password. This seems to be a general deterrent for non-technical users, correct?
Is this preboot feature important?
Datalock encrypts all the data going on the hard drive, so it they can read the drive, they can?t decode the encryption, correct?
What encryption level does Datalock use?
