Simple: Open the sheet you want to lock --> select the Tools menu --> select Protection --> click "Protect Sheet..." --> enter a password --> in the list box labeled "Allow all users of this worksheet to:", check the box labeled "Format cells".\n\nNote: I am doing this in Excel 2003; it is possible that it is done differently in other versions, but it is probably a very similar--if not identical--process.

Look at the following pdf, it's described in the 'Adding password protection' section :)

There are lots of software that can do this. Password to Modify worksheets & VBA modules are easy to crack. These objects are encrypted using a 16 bit key. If I remember correctly, there possible combinations with this hash is about 10,000 so VBA can cycle through all the combinations extremely fast.\n\nPassword to open a workbook uses a RC4 stream cipher which is a 40 bit key. I don't remember the possible combinations but I know it is exponentially higher than the 16 bit key. It takes days or weeks of constant running the cracker to open a workbook, it it opens at all.\n\nI use:\nhttp://www.straxx.com/excel/password.html

If you are using Windows XP you have several options.\nOption 1: Right click on the file to password (or an entire folder if you want), click properties, click the General tab, click Advanced button, click Encrypt Contents check box.\n\nOption 2: Use compression program like WinZip, and choose Encrypt or Password Protect options.\n\nThese will encrypt your information so that only a programming genius will be able to see your data 99.99% of people will not be able to get to it.\n\n* NOTE *\nIf you are engaging in illegal activity, these will not be good enough. Neither will deleting the files. The police can easily crack those. In that case you will need to delete everything, throw your hard disk away and never access those files again.

the best thing is to scan the file attachment... don't open it if you don't know who is it from... update your anti virus software and prevent going to any website that may leave back doors for hackers...

there is not such thing as 'secure' in IT industry,  theres no reason to burn a cd from a webpage, use nero for example

Search for extensions like .doc .xls . jpg\n\nDelete them where approprate.  this usually fixes most peoples problem..  Personally I would never use windows 98...  go get a copy of 2k or xp..
