A time bomb is usually an improvised explosive device comprised of a power source, often a battery, detonator, explosive charge, and timer, which substitutes for a fuse or trigger. Depending upon the design, the bomb can be set to detonate any time between a few minutes and several days after it has been secreted within the target area; also, a fake fuse, which serves no actual purpose in the bomb, can be implanted as a failsafe in case of discovery; the discoverer, thinking that the bomb is harmless as the fuse is not lit, may carry the bomb on their person to report it to authorities, unaware that it will still explode.

In Computer Software, a Time-bomb refers to a computer program that has been written in such a way that it will stop functioning after a certain fixed date or time is reached. The term "timebomb" does not refer to a program that stops functioning a specific number of days after it is installed; instead, the term "trialware" applies. Timebombs are commonly used in beta (pre-release) software when the manufacturer of the software does not want the beta version being used after the final release date.
