is important data safe in Outlook?

[glennnall]

I'm in Outlook quite a lot throughout my day, and i have been storing critical data in my Tasks (convenient place), like bank information, etc... it just occurred to me to ask if this is a safe place on my pc (Win7 64-bit with Avast Int Security - AV and Firewall) from any hacking attempts.



only reason i'm concerned is that Facebook told me the other day that my account had been logged into from someone in Hong Kong, and i changed my password. don't know how this happened, but i had to wonder if there were to be access to my pc, would data in my pst file be easily accessed?

thanks, anyone...
