DEEPFREEZE

Deepfreeze prevents new programs or files to be installed on the harddrive unless you allow access to certain folders

Can allow updates for operating system, anti-virus, etc at a certain time of day

CONCLUSIONS

Results are very apparent over time Use of Synmatec Ghost/Deepfreeze

over Clonezilla/Steadystate is probably more likely in a business

Also practical for a family computer Imaging is the way to go in a

computer lab or cyber café environment

FUTURE WORK Possibly faster imaging

standards or even more linux base freeware
