| Deep Freeze is THE answer to all this mess. Deep Freeze is wonderful. I have a c: drive and a logical d: drive. I keep c: drive frozen with Deep Freeze. If I get spyware/adware problems, toolbars installed, etc., or any other strange behavior in my browser, I just restart my computer. Voila! GONE. 100%
When I want to save pictures, videos, program setup files, etc., I save them to my d: drive. I use Norton AV to scan both drives as well.
Deep Freeze keeps my computer in perfect condition, literally. I never even need to defrag my hard drive, since it uses the same MFT every time it boots the computer.
One thing not mentioned here is that crapware developers constantly try to defeat and bypass detection and removal. And they often succeed. I have even seen Ad-Aware and other spyware removal programs outright deleted by spyware.
With Deep Freeze you don't have to worry about which side is winning this war. You're like God, looking down on it all from a position of total immunity!!
I would love to post a link to Deep Freeze here, but don't want to risk violating the board's policies. Google for it. It's in use by all the Ivy League schools, many public school systems around the country, etc. It keeps computers in perfect running condition, for virtually the life of the hardware it's installed on. It lives up to all its claims, and is very well maintained by the developer. It does not slow down your computer or degrade performance in any way at all. All who use it are extremely pleased.
If you are willing to partition your hard drive with a d: logical partition to save files to, and if you can get used to the idea of your c: drive being frozen, Deep Freeze is the best thing in the world, bar none, for keeping your computer in perfect shape.
Some people don't like having to thaw just to install new programs though. To me, it's no big deal to restart in thawed mode. Just remember, always restart TWICE after installing new software in order to let the new settings settle in correctly. |
