http://www.abyssmedia.com/scriptcryptor/index.shtml will
"compile" and encrypt VBS code to an .exe using Blowfish (an
industry-standard strong encryption algorithm).
The tool uses a strong random password for encrypting the .exe - and when
executed the exe decrypts itself "on the fly" (to memory, not to disk)
This should be sufficient for most users I think and it's a good option for
distributing confidential VBS sourcecode
