Personally, If your just trying to secure 1 or 2 files, there is no purpose to use Winzip to encrypt a file when you can just use the native Encryption from Word or Excel. If however you wish to protect MULTIPLE files or send Multiple files over the internet to someone, WinZIP is nice because you can secure them in 1 large batch and be done with it. Just zip them up with a good password, send them the zip and your done (After you give them a phone call to tell them the password of course). Howdy 22shocker and Great question.

Thank you! Glad to hear the article helped out. I wrote the article in response to a question in the forum: http://forum.groovypost.com/viewtopic.php?t=78761 Because I get asked the question so often at work "How can securely email a large number of documents or data" I figured other people out there would be able to benefit. Any other questions, please let me know in my forum - http://forum.groovypost.com Welcome JohnM!
