Does it bother you that
your email can be intercepted and read by strangers?
If you would like to share totally secure email and files over the Internet,
then you and your correspondents need PGP, (Pretty
Good Privacy) It is widely used and you can send PGP mail or files to anyone with the software.
You can also create self-decrypting versions of files (text, photos, whatever),
which you can send to folks without the software. You create the pass phrase
for that file when you create the encrypted version. The recipient just types
in the pass phrase and the un-encrypted version appears.
PGP was developed at MIT, and it has always been free. The technology is licensed commercially, with some extra bells and whistles, but the free version works just fine.
You download the 30 free trial of the desktop version. After 30 days some of the bells & whistles turn off and it becomes the PGP Legacy Freeware. You can get it at:

Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is easy to use, it can't be cracked, and it's free.** (cops like free.) Click the MORE INFO button for a brief explanation on how it all works.

**PGP Desktop 9.0 Trial Software is an improved version of the legacy PGP Freeware (Desktop 8.x and below) product. With PGP Desktop 9.0 Trial Software, all product functionality is available for 30 days (except PGP Whole Disk Encryption). After 30 days, PGP Desktop 9.0 Trial Software reverts to the functionality available in what used to be called PGP Freeware.
