Sure, lots, but the question is what do you want. If you simply want to
encrypt some files one-off, then there are loads of good encryption
programs, free, which could do it. If you want to encrypt whole folders or
drives, and have it done relatively transparently, then more care and research
is needed.
You also need to decide who your opponent is. If it is the gov't, you need
to do much more research than if it is your girlfiend ( unless she happens
to work at NSA or something).
