Use a zip program (such as WinRar - but not winzip) and zip it and password protect it.
What's wrong with winzip?
Not that secure and pretty easy to break open the archive.
The above post about PGP is worth investigating, nothing can break it.
That used to be true with earlier versions of WinZip but the current versions support 256-bit AES encrption which is more than enough for normal security requirements.
I also use PGP extensively for work and can confirm it is generally accepted as unbreakable and a world-leader in terms of encryption strength. There are open source versions too I think with more limited functionality but free.

PGP is open source. That's what caused the uproar over it (Guy just went, here... have fun... splat)
So whilst an OSS frontend might not be as polished it will do everything a corporate version is capable of as it's the same engine. Unless someone's hacked the code and produced successive generations of it... dunno.
