Make Your Computer Indestructible With Deep Freeze - Comments Page 2

You might try PacFix. Although DeepFreeze is an excellent product, some of the libraries have started using PacFix in lieu of DeepFreeze. I usually use it to roll out an installs. However, as you can customize it, some people have found creative ways to use it. It works on Win2K thru Win7 either 32 or 64 bit. PacFix appears to work like Windows restore point, but if any of your exe's have been compromised, restore point is hard to use whereas PacFix can be executed at startup before Windows starts.

I'm told that it is fishy but I have a laptop I need to totally freeze in time. And kept frozen. It will need to be like a book. No advancement of system time and static in all data. It will not be connected to any network. It will not be used to surf. Think of it as it needs to be pre-Michelangelo Virus that happened in the early 90's. Impending doom.

DeepFreeze satisfies the data requirement but will the clock be locked? Anyone think that DeepFreeze can do the full job? I'll keep a cloned HD of the system as a backup just in case of physical damage. Vista OS.

Any thoughts or experience?

We just bought 5 licenses of Deep Freeze at a 33% discount at $45 on the Faronics website.. you guys might find it useful, even though it's a long link!

I have been a user of Deep Freeze for a while and its a great basic restore utility that restores your pc on every reboot, however I came across another product similar called Rollback RX which allows you to have many baselines as a pose to Deep Freeze which only has one.

Deep Freeze is awesome!

I have been using it for years. You partition your C drive for the deep freeze and operating system ONLY. You need to make it large enough to accept any updates and any anticipated programs you may want to add to that drive. I made E drive my swap file and my F drive the drive in which all documents and other downloads, programs, etc are saved. If you thaw the deep freeze you can do any updates then refreeze.

I do a reboot before I thaw for any updates. I do updates, a disc clean up and a defrag before re freezing. I ran Deep Freeze alone for years before installing antivirus which I decided to do in case I downloaded a virus during an update.

If you try to save a web address in Explorer or Firefox it will be gone on the next start up. I created a file in my F Drive that has all the saved web address (My Favorites in my Documents file). Yes, it is a couple more mouse clicks to pull it up however I DO NOT have any virus issues, or sloowww computer problems EVER!

The computer which I bought in 2007 still rocks!!! It's a Dell Laptop with an XP Operating System.
