Can malware bypass it, like in windows?

Unfortunately the sourceforge page has not been updated since it was created:

Couldn't find much specifics on how it works in detail but since it's a software solution, of course it can be bypassed, at least theoretically. Only with a hardware read only switch for the storage devices and some way to verify BIOS and firmwares on another trusted system you could guarantee nothing stays behind.

Default Re: Deep Freeze Ubuntu.

I tried it. seems it makes a copy of ur home directory duiring freeze to recover it back on un-freeze. On default install, it,s ok as home uis almost empty.

I have lot of data in my Home. It tooks a long long time during freeze( practically unacceptable at all) and on reboot I faced problems with file architecture corruption.

This software is not usable at all in its current state.
