Faronics Deep Freeze provides advanced system integrity. Every time you restart your computer, Deep Freeze restores the machine back to its desired configuration. Faronics Deep Freeze helps eliminate computer damage and downtime by making computer configurations indestructible. Once Deep Freeze is installed on a computer, any changes made to the computer - regardless of whether they are accidental or malicious - are never permanent...
Deep Freeze provides immediate immunity from many of the problems that plague computers today - inevitable configuration drift, accidental system misconfiguration, malicious software activity, and incidental system degradation.
Deep Freeze protects the computers that are set to boot from the hard drive. Configure the CMOS to boot from the hard drive only. The CMOS must be password protected to prevent unauthorized changes. Deep Freeze protects the Master Boot Record (MBR) when the computer is Frozen.
