It is *supposedly* still available from Broadcom, under the name “Symantec Desktop Email Protection” [1]. How you can *actually* get it is another question.

Status of original PGP?
On a lark I went looking for the current iteration of PGP. It was bought by Symantec some years ago, and the last I heard they'd renamed it to "Symantec Encryption Desktop". However, Symantec no longer has it available for sale or download, and scouring their site turns up basically nothing. Does anyone know what happened to PGP?
