FileGuard X4
Intego has begun shipping a beta of FileGuard X4, a new data protection program that provides "virtually unbreakable" protection for sensitive files. The tool allows users to create as many safes as they need for different types of files and store safes on servers or external disks with full security. Unlike Apple's FileVault, which requires that users encrypt their entire home folder, FileGuard X4 is selective, allowing users choose which files or folders they want to protect. FileGuard allows users to set a different password for each safe and create safes by drag-and-drop, or from the Intego menu. Safes increase in capacity as you add more files, and you can change the size of a safe or compress it to save space. FileGuard requires Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or higher and 20 MB of hard drive space. It is currently available as a public beta download.

good concept
although i've always been wary of intego since they had that little fiasco with the purported virus that was released for OS X a while back.
