At the end of the Security Now! that I heard about the Microsoft, free, “SteadyState” application (last post), at the end of the program, Leo LaPorte asked someone to e-mail him with the name of the paid-for product that does what Steady State does… now, Leo has a rep that he RARELY answers his e-mail (can’t blame him, he gets so much!) But here’s what he sent me when I told him the app he was trying to think of is “Deep Freeze.”

That’s it! Thanks!

How cool is that?!?!

I was listening to the “Security Now” podcast recently (Steve Gibson and Leo LaPorte) and they were talking about a new, free tool for Windows XP called “Windows SteadyState.” It allows you to build a system and then have it in a lab, or other common (shared) area, and have it revert back to it’s earlier state once rebooted. Info on M$ site is here:

“Keep your shared access computers running smoothly with Windows SteadyState. Note: If you already use the Shared Computer Toolkit, upgrade today to Windows SteadyState. Are you ready to download Windows SteadyState for your genuine Windows XP computer? There’s no cost. Download it now, or look around and learn more.”
