I hate having very much in my system tray. As you can see, only 1 thing down there. All the rest have been hidden

 

Only my realtime security software, my email client + ClipMate, Palm hotsync, SnagIt & InCD.

Same thinking here. I want to at least see that my security apps are up and running. The rest is best hidden.

Here is my new systray after one day of playing

 

Hi Alphalutra1,
Which program does the icon with a "H" refer to? Does it mean Hospital? LOL
Cheers

 

Here ya go.

 

Its Hostman, a device that runs under 1 MB of RAM that locks the host file, and can check for updates. It also can act as a little HTTP server, so whenever a host file blocks something, the "Action Cancelled" message doesn't show and instead a custom one does. This speeds up the loading of web pages since the computer isn't trying to connect to a non-existant website.

Outpost FW/NOD32/ProcessGuard/ShadowUser/Ad Muncher/RegDefend.

I have LNS and Outpost and use them intermittently, I just like them both.

 

Hello,
No cheating with Linux!
I'll post from a test machine I currently work on.

P.S. I'm an idiot and trying to upload attachment without success for good 10 min...

P.S.S. For some reason I could not upload jpeg, only gif ?

 

Hi there,
just out of curiosity, how long have you been running your system 'only' with Deep Freeze?
Have you ever experienced anything odd going on while in the frozen mode?

 

I have set up a white list of allowed executables using the software restriction policy within XP Pro. I've been running like that for about 4 months.

Sometimes while surfing my browser has locked up. When that has happened I looked at the event viewer. A couple of times cmd.exe has been blocked from running but mostly a file had been copied to c:\ but has been blocked from running. Apart from that nothing else strange has occurred.

 

Your browser locked up: Could you tell us which browser were you using? Basically in 4 months nothing really important happened except for a file that has been copied to c:\. But in frozen mode nothing should really be allowed to be written to c:\?!

I'm trying to figure whether Deep Freeze as a stand alone application manage to protect you properly, and presumably when you resumed your normal mode you wouldn't have any trace of the above mentioned activities.

Sorry if I'm urging a bit but I'm dead curious as I am myself running ShadowUser but not as a stand alone application and I'm wondering really how many layers do we actually need.

 

With Deep Freeze in frozen mode, files can be copied to the frozen drive or even the drive can be formatted but those modifications to the frozen drive will be removed upon reboot.

I'm using the software restriction policy to protect myself. I am not using Deep Freeze to protect myself. I am using Deep Freeze to clean up the stuff which got onto my computer (but which couldn't run because of the SRP) when I reboot.

If I didn't use the SRP, then the files which got copied to C:\ would have been able to run and do whatever they wanted. They could have carried on doing what they wanted until I rebooted.

My browser is Maxthon (based on IE).

 

Thanks for the feedback, the whole picture is quite clear now.

 

Thanks for the explanation
By the way, how does your systray look like after one day without playing? LOL
Cheers

 

Here is mine (often changing though) :

where is it, none?!!!

 

What do you mean?

 

I can,t see anything, at least in my browser.

 

Sorry, i could not get it, what about firewall etc and other programmes, how u can hide them( u don,t mean to stop them from \real time running as afr as I understand). May be u mean from taskbar properties, u choose for ALWAYS HIDE. So what,s the benefit, if u have to access any of these, u have to go to start>programmes etc.

 

Ok, sorry I didn't understand . It's on imageshack, I guess something must be preventing third-party sites to show pics in your browser.

Here is it anyway :

 

He doesn't have them hidden, he isn't running anything else ... Just Nod32. He likely is using a router/ or a gateway PC for a firewall, but he'd have to answer to be sure.

 

Here's mine.
Outlook, ActiveSync, RegRun Plat., BoClean, NOD32, FD-ISR.
