Does anybody have any suggestions for software to encrypt files on a computer?

 

XP has this built in.

 

XP PRO has it built in. XP Home does not.

 

explain what exactly you need?

 

XP pro

 

i believe winzip has an option to encrypt when you zip a file....

is this gonna be used for windows/unix/mac???

 

For windows. Only some of the computers I work with have pro.

Several years ago I had used a norton program which would encrypt the files. The files I am encrypting are on a flash drive.

 

winzip will do up to aes but PGP is also good for providing self decrypting archives

 

PGP for my important files. Didn't know XP Pro has encryption software built in. Haha ... had it for so long and didn't know.

Wow ... use Explorer ... right-click the file ... properties ... attributes ... advanced ... "encrypt contents to secure data".

D'oh!

 

PGP for personal data, XP pro for just semi private data

 

PGP is the way to go. If it's worth encrypting... it's worth encrypting right.

 

PGP or use WinRar, better encryption than WinZip or anything else.
