You actually don't need a third party program to do it, you can do it yourself... The Map FAQ on B.net says...

7) How do I protect my map so it can't be opened in the editor?

While map protection is not officially supported, a simple and common method of doing so is to remove the binary trigger data file from the map. This can be accomplished by importing a blank text file into the map, and changing the path to war3map.wtg. Once this is done, the map will not open in the editor, as the trigger information will be gone. However, since triggers are generated into the map script file when the map is saved, it will still work in the game. Make sure you back up your map before applying any sort of protection, or else you yourself will be unable to edit it again.
