The thing that worries me about PGP now is its security. I just can't see a company like Symantec selling something like PGP without them keeping some sort of tool for cracking PGP codes, I thought about purchasing PGP for Mac but the name of Symantec and my above worry put me off which is why I opted for Truecrypt, nice open source software which is updated regularly, its accessible on the Mac and under Windows, with LYNUX etc but most importantly it seems very secure with various encription methods and options at your fingertips.
