![]() ![]() ![]() Some clients refuse to accept attachments if they can't first be verified as "OK" (Virus free, etc). This might pose a problem on some email clients if "examining" the file(s) attachment(s) before viewing (and/or downloading) is required, but, this process can't be completed on a locked and protected file. I have verified the zipped/locked/encrypted files are totally secure and they can not be scanned for viruses nor used at all without the correct password. There's also a means of sending a zipped/locked file in an email directly in the WinZip app without having to go to your email client or website, pretty nifty and it saves a few clicks and steps! Yes, there are other alternatives requiring additional steps on a Mac to allow you to secure and lock a file, but, WinZip does it instantly and on the fly! That feature to me makes this app worth every penny you pay for it. The GUI and design of the application in use is quite easy to use and keeps it simple to select what you wish to do. Having now used this WinZip version for about 20 hours, I have found it to be a superb application which I expect to use a lot. ![]() I recently needed a means of both locking as well as encrypting files and folders on my Mac to fully secure personal information, such as, a list of critical passwords I needed to secure, the ability to send safe, secure and encrypted email attachments to family as needed and be able to travel with a few secured folders on my USB2 Flash drive. Having made the transition to a Mac about 4 years ago, I initially used both the built-in zip/compression utility that Mac OS X has plus a few "freeware" utilities that pretty much do the same thing, that being compress and uncompress folders and files. I'm quite familiar with older versions of WinZip for Windows, as I routinely used them in the past. ![]()
