deep freeze








Deep Freeze Server Enterprise is a software application whose aim is to backup your server configuration on every restart. It comes in handy for system administrators who can perform remote operations for making sure data is preserved efficiently on the target PCs.

Computer configurations can be restored at any point defined by you, regardless of the accidental or malicious changes that may comprise system security.

It sports a clean and straightforward layout that gives you the possibility to configure the workstations, encrypt the information by setting up passwords, apply Windows updates on the remote PCs, perform batch operations, and save the configuration to RDX file format.

Plus, you can create groups to organize workstations, select the drives to be protected or unprotected, as well as build a virtual partition where data can be saved permanently without being deleted during a reboot session.

Advanced options are used to configure various security options and administer license keys, while the console pane enables administrators to remotely perform various operations, such as lock or unlock the selected PCs, restart or shutdown the computers, send messages, and schedule actions.

What’s more, the application lets you assign workstation tasks by scheduling Windows updates, restarting workstations periodically, and shutting down or restarting them at a specified time. Plus, it is possible to create a new configuration which can be applied to multiple workstations.

All things considered, Deep Freeze Server Enterprise proves to be a reliable application that gives you a hand when it comes to restoring your computer back to its original configuration. Its intuitive layout and handy set of parameters make it an ideal tool for professionals and beginners alike. 


advanced system protector virus







This spyware remover looks good, offering security fundamentals but its efficacy is hard to judge on a clean or already-secure system. Advanced System Protector aims to rid your machine of spyware and malware, and it's generally a pretty thing to watch. The interface has a classy bar of tabs across the top, although the central pane feels a bit cluttered by deviating from the design scheme with a big, green Start Scan Now button.

Below that there are three choices for the type of scan: Quick, Deep, and Custom. The Quick scan took about 23 minutes, while the Custom scan lets you opt out of Cookies, Memory, Registry, and Files and Folders, or select specific folders and files to toss in the pot. Advanced System Protector is sensitive enough to pick up tracking cookies, although there didn't seem to be a method for fine-tuning that. The scheduler was surprisingly impressive, allowing for scans daily, once, and variations in-between. You can configure the program to run at startup, to update definition files automatically, and create a whitelist of files to never scan.

However, Advanced System Protector lacks an integrated antivirus component, which more and more solo malware battlers are now building in from the get-go. The real-time shields components are also kept behind a deadbolt unless you upgrade to the paid version. Overall, program runs well for what it can do and shouldn't be hard to use.


1password




1Password (If need) a password manager that uniquely brings you both security and convenience. It is the only program that provides anti-phishing protection and goes beyond password management by adding web form filling and automatic strong password generation. All your confidential information, including passwords, identities, and credit cards, is kept secure in one secure place using a highly encrypted keychain.

Your computer system's drivers tell your hardware and software what to do. Without up-to-date drivers, your system won't perform to its full potential and might even experience problems. Obsolete drivers can sometimes even leave vulnerabilities and security holes that have been fixed in updates that you don't have, and why? Because updating drivers is a nuisance falling somewhere between an oil change and a dentist's appointment, that's why; and it's worse still if you're the sort of user who depends on a PC yet has no earthly idea what goes on inside the box (and like it that way, thank you very much). So, get DriverMax from Innovative Solutions. This free cloud-based tool helps you download and install up-to-date drivers practically painlessly. You'll need to create a free user account to make DriverMax work.

DriverMax scanned our PC during setup and displayed our drivers in a compact view, with up-to-date drivers marked in green and those with available updates in red. The scan found eight available updates. We simply had to click Download to get the drivers, select More Options to view an information box with links to other drivers and options, or click a Help icon to access related information. The drivers all come from a variety of sites and often download and install in different ways, too, so the ability to view other available drivers and documentation can make a big difference.

When you download a driver in the free version of DriverMax, a Web page opens with information and a download link. The Pro upgrade downloads drivers directly within the DriverMax interface, but we don't have a problem with an intermediate step since "slow, steady, and careful" (and plenty of info) add up to trouble-free upgrades and smooth sailing from then on. Of course, you can also use DriverMax as a guide for updating drivers individually using their own programs (where available). DriverMax also backs up and restores your drivers (backup = good). DriverMax proved superior to similar driver maintenance tools we've tried, with a quality look and feel; we recommend it for users of all skill levels.
