This scenario may be prevented by configuring the CMOS ( nonvolatile BIOS memory) on the workstation to boot only to the hard drive to be protected, then password-protecting the CMOS. In such cases, a user would have real access to the contents of the (supposedly) frozen system. As a workaround, Deep Freeze can be configured to restart after user logout, shutdown after a chosen period of inactivity, or restart/shutdown at a scheduled time in an attempt to ensure that no such installations are retained (as rebooting the system returns the system to its original, unmodified state).ĭeep Freeze cannot protect the operating system and hard drive upon which it is installed if the computer is booted from another medium (such as another bootable partition or internal hard drive, an external hard drive, a USB device, optical media, or network server).

For example, Deep Freeze does not prevent application installation a user can install a modified version of a Web browser (but seemingly harmless to the unknowing user) designed to secretly send users' passwords to a server connected to the Internet. That is, Deep Freeze prevents permanent tampering with protected hard drives/partitions across reboots, but user activity between restarts is not limited by the program.

ĭeep Freeze only protects workstations in a 'fresh-booted' state. The disadvantage is that it does not provide real-time protection, therefore an infected computer would have to be restarted in order to remove malware. The advantage of using Deep Freeze is that it uses very few system resources, and thus does not slow down computer performance greatly. ĭeep Freeze can also protect a computer from harmful malware, since it automatically deletes (or rather, no longer 'sees') downloaded files when the computer is restarted.
