Isn't this only a problem if someone has physical access to your machine? Or do you mean that it has lots of outside holes like ICQ99 used to have?
Even if someone on your machine can read these files, it isn't a problem if you have a "real" o/s (like Linux) that controls access to user directories.
P.S. : DON'T SHOUT, it's rude.
