Note to you not so tech savvy people: they can only use this software
when they've seized your computer when it was turned on AND you mounted
your TrueCrypt partition(s). In all other cases, they can't get at your
data!

So always unmount your TrueCrypt partition when you leave your computer
for any period of time by logging off. Also, never transport your
computer in standby or hibernate mode or unmount your drives before you
do.
