Prevents permanent damage to a system by preserving data.
If you're looking for a safe way to protect the files, filesystem and general integrity of your system, then Deep Freeze Standard is certainly a product to look at.
With this application, you can effectively "freeze" the setup of your computer which can be useful in many different cases including a virus infection, email worm or anything else that messes with your system.
Deep Freeze Standard will completely restore the drives you have directed it to protect upon restarting a system. This means that if any type of virus manages to make its way into your operating system, Deep Freeze will completely revert these changes. In essence, it will "Freeze" the selected hard drive so that no malicious changes can be made.
Setting up this program involves creating a master password so that you, and only you, can decide when to activate and deactivate the freezing of a drive. It gets a little bit more complicated when attempting to uninstall as first it must be deactivated with the hotkeys CTRL ALT SHIFT F6; You must de-thaw the drives in question, reboot and then run the original executable to uninstall it.
All in all, the usage and setup of this program could be a little bit more user friendly but we're guessing that would make it easier to defeat. Definitely read the instructions from Faronics if anything goes wrong.
