is Powershdow harmful to Harddisk?

oh, I c, thanks. you are quite nice.

 

I suspect the number of users is in the millions, as flinchlock mentioned. I read that many schools in China use it, businesses, etc.

The Chinese are putting out some great software these days, with PS and Eqsecure which I haven't tried yet but have been following in the threads.

 

The atmosphere here becomes strange, some guy turns irrational......

Sure,PS is not perfect-- no other app can achieve that .

It is just your personal choice if use it or not, I can't see the necessity to argue about it anymore

IN fact, PS has been commercially sold in Hongkong&Taiwan market for a long time. (maybe not in such name) So, there r a lot of people using PS nowadays.

 

no other app can achieve that? really?
Is it a bug of Powershadow?
Should people bear the damage to hardisk?

 

U just keep saying PS will damage your HD , but without any proof.

I will not reply again, sorry ; U just go ahead.

But it will be much better to report such bug to PS official forum,isn'it?

Is there anything perfect (including software)existing in the world? I really don't think so.

 

As I know, in China, the public pc cafe and school mostly use the recovery card or Deepfreeze. No Admin will install a software that allow people to select shadow mode without password in a public pc.

 

This morning while surfing the net in Shadow mode I laid my glasses on the computer tower. I came out of Shadow mode to update my AV. Now my glasses are gone. Man I hate that.

 

Hi, folks: Despite of continuing debates back and forth, Koreanmark does point out a visible weakness of PS; it does not have a password protection. Switching in and out of shadow mode as easy as folks picking up chopsticks, let alone the so-called total security. Therefore I doubt any given schools or public institutions in China would worry-freely adopt it. May I be allowed to say PS is not bullet proof in this regard ? Have a nice one.

 

IF you want PS to always be in shadow mode, just tweak the boot.ini to make it the ONLY choice... a "Kiosk". I wouldn't doubt there is already an option to do that.

Hi, folks: Nice to know this. Thanks.

 

as I know, the PS reads the the boot.ini option which user choose from here.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
SystemStartOptions = xxxx

if someone know this, can change boot.ini easyly.

Now, It is easy to find the source code of PS in some chinese sites. I think it is too weak to use PS in a public pc.
