db choice with c# .net

I have a small application connected on MS Access db. MS Access is not safe
DB and everybody can open it irrespective on password protection.

I would like to get a little more protection with DB and question is what
kind of DB I should use (I am using VS.Net and c#. ). Chosen db must be easy
delivered (installed) on user computer within setup application.

Thanks :)

Without involving third party products, the next step up from Access would
be MSDE:

If you have a very small amount of data to keep up with and that seems an
overkill, then going in the other direction would be no database at all --
you could use XML data files (which you could potentially encrypt for
greater security).

Can suggest two:
Firebird (an open source clone of Borland Interbase):
http://www.firebirdsql.org
and Advantage database: http://www.advantagedatabase.com
The first one is open source and free in both local and client/server
versions, The second has free local version and paid client/server
version. Both have .NET access drivers. Both fully compatible with
SQL'99. Firebird IMHO less secure because it doesn't encrypt database
content but it is OK for many tasks.

Or these days, go for SQL Server 2005 Express:
