Truecrypt is a good open source drive and file encryption program but it can be a little tricky when encrypting the drive your computer boots from or backup drives that get swapped often....windows will occasionally change the drive ID for no good reason what so ever and then Truecrypt cannot find it. Zixmail is OK for email encryption that integrates with Outlook or can run stand alone. Awkward interface but does the job. Cost $125 per email address per year.

Hi Experts! Can you recommend a reliable (and affordable) email encryption program? Winzip has been recommended... but I have questions on that program .. Mac users don't seem to be able to open files .... Also, have you tried Truecrypt for free file encryption -- and would you recommend? Thanks for any input (from the non-techie). joan _____________________________ Joan Long Essential Office Services Virtual Assistant ~ Freelance Writer Giving you more time for your business ph 413.796.1536 fax 413.796.8097 joan-long at comcast.net www.essentialoffice.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
