[liberationtech] suggestions for a remote wipe software for Windows?

[Griffin Boyce]

  Well, http://preyproject.com/ would be better for a layperson who doesn't
have the time/interest to encrypt.  But it's not impossible to disable or
anything.  And in the meantime the thief would have access to your data.
 Depends on whether you are more looking to get it back (no guarantees), or
protect your info (all but guaranteed if encrypted).
