    I was just wondering if anyone knows or uses ShadowUser Pro. When you put your computer in Shadow Mode you cannot catch a virus, trojan, worm, nor adaware, spyware etc.

    Nothing is final until you write it to disk, and only what you write to disk if any, and everything else is left behind. It acts as another virtual pc. I only read about, just wondering if anyone else could shed some light. It sure sounds awesome.

    Take a look for yourselves! http://www.shadowstor.com/

    If anyone has opinions, please let me know.

    Thanks

    Sorry Blackcat,

    I thought I was in the right place. I will check out the links you gave me, just trying to gather some knowledge about this program.

    Thanks again,

    I use ShadowUser and quite like it. It seems to me to work exactly the way it's intended.

    If I had two harddrives on my computer, I would have gone with DeepFreeze and frozen C: drive, and used D: drive for all my games/downloads/updatable software etc.

    But ShadowUser lets me set exempt folders on my C: drive, so to me, it's much more user friendly for a single drive computer (without having to partition your harddrive like you would with DF).

    Hi Vikorr, my C drive is raido raptors, J drive raptor, K drive 400 gig Hitachi. So it won't work with multiple drives?

    They do, you specify when installing. It's just that you will still need somewhere to store your documents, email, saved games etc
