I recommend *eraser* at sourcforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/eraser/).  
Whilst not automatic, it will securely move and erase files, and will securely 
overwrite/erase the freespace on a mounted drive.  I use it routinely.

Note that USB flash drives have limited write-lives, so that multiple 35-pass 
wipes are not usually recommended.  The eraser default is one pass with random 
data, which is often sufficient.
