Deep Freeze

baseballplayer217 · 03-20-2006, 04:36 AM

Ok I just got the program deep freeze and I just love it. My question is since I have this program do I still need anti-spyware and anti-virus programs? For anyone who hasn't heard of it check it out http://www.faronics.com/html/deepfreeze.asp#Standard

I used that program on my video computer when I had a dedicated one. WONDERFUL little program

And of course not! That program keeps your system locked as it is. If you get viruses, spyware, or even manage to format it, the thing will revert right back to how it was! Try it

so are you saying that if you catch a virus or spyware, it will detect it and kinda do a restore point? and u can possibly find were or what file is infecting you? Or does this have to be a manual restore from the user assuming he is infected.

Here watch this video http://www.faronics.com/tutor/Deep_F...eze_Magic.html The only downside is if you want to save something you can't unless the drive that is frozen is thawed. That involves restarting your computer. It gets a little annoying so I recommend a different drive, different partition, or a flash drive. Once you know how it works you'll understand why you won't ever need anti virus or anti spyware again.

No, deep freeze just won't let you save anything on the computer. Once you restart the machine, it's right back to how it was when you installed the program.

See, it worked so well on my video computer because I just froze the 25G boot drive and didn't touch the 80G and stored all my videos and porject files there. Never gave me a problem in the few years I used it. I'd also test sites and programs that might have spyware on it

What I want to do is reformat my hard drive. Then freeze part of the drive then leave the rest thawed so I can save documents. The problem is I only have one hard drive.

Why don't you try to use some punctuation, it really helps.

You can partition it so it's just like having two drives. Otherwise you're reather stuck.

I used to always use deep freeze, i loved it. Basically what it does is creates a restore point when you install the software, and ever time you restart your computer, it loads that checkpoint. So any documents, programs, or spyware that get on your system, are gone when you restart.
