There is some basic 128 bit encryption used with terminal services, but
it is compromised just about every other day.  As most of the other
responses indicated SSH is good strong encryption and it can be free if
you go with OpenSSH.  VPN would be good too and if you have MS server
then you should be able to set that up without additional cost, though
it too is not as secure as other possible VPN solutions.
