Unfamiliar with *any* free software? That does pose a problem, especially if neither of you are willing to try to learn. There are countless GPG tutorials and blog posts out there, not to mention this list's archives. The simplest thing I could think of would be something like this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/quick-encrypt/ceoomdobfpkpdilfooakcmklkkolppcb It's an extension for Google Chrome (which is free software though, so perhaps this "PC user" is not familiar with it?) that does basic symmetric encryption with no special setup. Personally, I can't imagine using it myself unless I was on a Windows box with no time to install & configure GPG, but I do know people who use it (people who found GPG too intimidating). PS: I can't vouch for the quality of the encryption (I haven't looked at the implementation) or the general safety of it (I don't know if it performs the encryption locally or if it sends it to a server).
