Winzip Encryption

Hi,

People told me that the latest version of winzip has AES encryption to protect files and should be much safer than its 
eariler version like v8.

However, when I tested it with password cracker products like archpr, I can easily get the password. So why it claims 
using AES in the latest version when it is that easy to find a way to retrteive documents inside winzip!

Well, anyone has any good suggestions for a safe way to send out compressed documents?

Many Thanks,
Wang
