I voted unsecured but that's only because it's empty and I plan on deleting this one and getting a new one that I'll secure before I'll put any of my Bitcoins in, that are currently deposited in an online service.

My entire bitcoin fortune is 0.04 BTC so for now I'm not taking any extra step to secure it.

If I get to the point where I have significant value, then I will.  But really basic security should be in builtin the client if you want bitcoin to really hit mainstream... a good chunk of people don't even know how files and folders work so you can't expect them to secure their wallet by themselves

Always had most of my funds in an encrypted wallet.dat, just transferred most of my funds to a new wallet created on a clean livecd OS, stored on an encrypted volume, backed up in several places.

I've taken some good steps since the beginning, and even stronger recently. If the prices increase any further, I will likely consolidate all my funds into a brand new wallet from a clean computer.

I thought it would be interesting to see how paranoid the bitcoin community is, especially after this week-end.
