Time Bomb folder deleter ...

Let's say I fell under the proverbial bus tomorrow.

There's a lot of ' stuff ' on my pc I wouldn't want anyone to access - nothing illegal, just ' historical stuff '.

Is there any software out there that will nuke files/folders/drives should you not check-in after X amount of hours ?

Get Universal Shield - won't nuke the 'stuff' but will keep them private even in safe mode. Can encrypt the really private 'stuff' to hide from low-level hard drive scanners too.

No password = your secret's safe even after your meeting with da bus.

it can be coded....

I would imagine the the old adage applies - everything that's lockable has a key.

Yo dawg, I heard you like security so I put a TrueCrypt hidden volume inside your TrueCrypt hidden volume, so you can have security while you have security.

Excellent application of meme.

Plus its solid advice too.

I heard a better one on Slashdot, in an article about the TSA safety checks and resultant queues for security:

"Yo dawg, I heard you like security, so I put a queue inside your queue so you can queue while you queue."

this thread sounds suspicious...

As Keeper said, very easy to create but what happens when Eskom prevents you from "checking in"?

Download a copy of TrueCrypt which sllows you to create encrypted virtual harddrive partitions for sensitive stuff. It's free and easy to use.
