It protects your system from any unwanted changes and malicious activity in low disk level.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With a simple click,  it puts your actual system under virtual protection on the fly and creates a virtual environment on which you can evaluate applications, watch movies, and perform online activities.<\/p>\n<p>Considering I am continually testing and evaluating all types of software, I just had to take TimeFreeze for a test drive. The first thing I did was scan the setup file through Virus Total, not because of any suspicions at all, just because that is always a wise precaution when evaluating any software which has not yet established a firm reputation \u2013 Virus Total scanned the file 100% clean.<\/p>\n<p>Installation was quick and uneventful without any nasty surprises, the only aspect worth mentioning is that it requires a restart to complete. TimeFreeze itself is very easy to use and, more importantly, extremely effective. Initiating the software opens up a plain, simple interface with two main options; \u2018Start TimeFreeze\u2019 and \u2018Start File Protection\u2019:<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Time-Freeze-1-640x456.jpg\" title=\"time freeze\" class=\"alignnone\" width=\"500\" height=\"356\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.davescomputertips.com\/2011\/12\/timefreeze-easily-create-a-secure-virtual-environment\/\" target=\"_blank\">Article continued here<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n<p>This excerpt is shared with permission from davescomputertips.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20110628savestips.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"davescomputertips.com\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-18914\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Every with you could prevent your children or spouse from mucking around with the computer or installing software that later causes problems?
