Go one better...
Always backup your files to a usb hard drive at the end of day. Walmart has Seagates that are inexpensive. Then do what you said. I believe once they are encrypted, logging off and back on as admin will do you no good. The files will probably be encrypted under administrator mode also. By the way, I wonder what extensions it targets.

Look on the bright side. They are demanding less money than the last charactor so competition is alive and well.
