Folder/file encryption

[747 jock]

I'm after a bit of advice and I'm sure some of the knowledgable people here could help.

I used to have a laptop running XP professional, and I had a PGP encryption prog that I used to encrypt some sensitive info that I had on there. (I was working in Nigeria and there were some documents I had that I didn't want read if the laptop was stolen).

I've recently bought a new laptop which has Win 7 Home premium (64bit) and the verson of PGP I have won't run on it & I don't want to pay $105 for a new version.

Could anyone recommend an encryption program (either freeware or a reasonably priced paid version) that is fairly secure and could be used for encrypting single files and maybe folders.

Thanks
