protection for Multibit and Electrum

[jubalix]

Is there away to require a password before these can be used to send something? like there is in BitCoin QT Client?

Yes, Electrum uses the "master password" before you can send.

Multibit, I'm not sure of. I know it doesn't encrypt wallet files.

In the MultiBit 0.5.9 release candidate you can encrypt wallets in quite a similar manner to Bitcoin QT.
(You have to enter a password before you send bitcoin and the private keys are stored encrypted).

This is available for testers here: https://multibit.org/releases/multibit-0.5.9rc1
If the testing goes well it will go on general release next week.
