I know that you can encrypt and create a virtual file in truecrypt, and it creates a file as big as you specified. However, can't anyone just delete that file, and all your info is lost?
Thanks,

The file can be deleted, moved, rename just like a regular file. However it is not a flaw in truecrypt, as the data would still be secure. There is no end-all way to keep a file from being deleted, but there are many programs and methods that can help.
Well, in complement to truecrypt, what programs and methods do you recommend?
Additionaly, I know you can make a portalbe truecrypt in windows. Is it possible with a mac?
One of the most simple ways would be to bury the file in an insanely large amount of obscure folders in a 'hidden' and 'system' directory, and disable the showing of system and optionally hidden files in Folder options or whatever it's called. Then, you should be able to enter the full path to the file in truecrypt and mount it, but explorer wouldn't show it.
Great Thanks!
so one final question, is there a portable truecrypt for mac OSX?? I know there is one for windows, but i don't know about mac.
I don't think there is yet for mac, maybe linux either. The windows version gets things first, like system encryption, with linux and mac following. It will happen though.
