A question with regards to Encryption?
I understand that Encryption protects a person from data theft in a variety of ways.
My question is are there any benefits with regards to virus and malware? I understand that most malware/virus are installed by user error or social engineering. Does encryption protect against being infected? My guess is probably not but how about after infection? Will encryption protect you against data theft? In what ways can encryption protect a person pre/post infection?
I'm using TrueCrypt.
