Security app preventing data from being deleted

Hi everyone,

I have a Nexus S and lost all my camera pics, one video and a folder containing images (there were 2 images left out of perhaps 20). I have no idea if it was a virus (I scanned and found nothing) or if it was an app I installed that deleted my images and video.

I'm thinking it was probably an app which had the permission "Modify/delete SD card contents" that was the culprit but I don't know which one.

So my question is if there is a security app which encrypts folders or prevents certain data to be deleted. I don't want it to happen again..

Thanks.

This seems to have good reviews: https://market.android.com/details?...mNvbS5qb2ludGxvZ2ljLmJmb2xkZXJzLmFuZHJvaWQiXQ

But keep in mind that if you encrypt your DCIM folder or photo folder, that your camera won't be able to save to that location.
