Five Reasons Deep Freeze dangerous for Personal Computers

Based on personal research, I saw quite a lot of computer users who risked the fate of computer security in the hands of Deep Freeze. They think by doing a freeze on its hard disk partition, the malware will not be able to attack their computer. Actually this is quite dangerous considering the Deep Freeze is not a computer security tool.

There are several reasons why the use of Deep Freeze is very dangerous as an alternative to computer security.

1. Can not prevent virus activity

Deep Freeze could indeed prevent the virus infects the hard disk partition that has at-freeze. However, the actual viral activity is still running. Whether infecting another partition that is not to freeze, USB devices, computers in a network, even another computer that is connected to the Internet. This will continue until the virus has been eradicated. Deep Freeze fact unable to eradicate the virus.

2. Unable to prevent the spread of virus

For example, there are viruses on computers that were installed Deep Freeze. Computers are indeed not be problematic. But if we plug in USB devices such as flash disks, MMC, SD, miniSD, microSD, etc. then in a flash USB device they are determined to be full of viruses. This is because Deep Freeze was unable to prevent the spread of the virus from a storage medium to another storage media.

3. Can not ward off other malware

Types of malware are there different kinds, including viruses, intruders, spyware, trojans, and adware. Counteract the virus alone can not be let alone ward off other malware.

For example, spyware can monitor all user activities performed in front of the computer, such as a keylogger. Although it does not destroy data as is done by the virus, personal information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, etc., can be taken away by irresponsible parties. Indeed, after the computer is restarted, the spyware is gone thanks to the recovery session conducted by Deep Freeze. However, what about the personal information that has been stolen? Can they return? Of course not.

4. Do not know the security level of the site opened

In this era of globalization, a phishing site is already a thing that we usually find. Phishing is the act of deception against a person by way of fishing to provide personal information. People who are careless are often stuck with this kind of fraud due to phishing sites created as closely as the original site. And once again, Deep Freeze was not able to prevent phishing action in cyberspace.

5. Easy to hack

A lot of know-how to hack Deep Freeze but none of know-how to hack antivirus. Try searching on Google with keyword "hack deep freeze." Then it will find a lot of know-how to hack password Deep Freeze so that function will be disabled. While the antivirus, no one was willing to hack antivirus pulled for not working.

It's obvious is not it? How dangerous it is when we are risking the fate of computer security at Deep Freeze. It may even be a lot more other reasons. Is fine to install Deep Freeze but do not rely only on the computer security of Deep Freeze. Application protection against malware is still necessary to any time even if Deep Freeze is installed.

How the Virus Destroyed the Laptop

Today is unfortunate, meaning you want to clean the file from the virus in the computer that contains important data, files are scanned my network via my laptop turn is exposed to the virus.

At the time I know the laptop is exposed to the virus are very severe and eventually take my laptop to the workshop griyacom, where the workshop is the workshop my subscription when the problem occurs on a computer that is damaged.

Not up to 4 hours my laptop is back to normal because of the reinstall. And this is how I do not like where the application programs that I have lost all pairs. Program that is installed only by the workshop program are standard.

However, the most important is my laptop back to its normal life, although only with the standard program. You can not be more laptop may have destroyed my rock. In fact the virus does not only destroy the program but also can destroy hardware ... he he he

Basics of Personal Computer Hardware

The personal computer (PC) is one complex piece of machinery. Its made up of many individual components that will baffle the uninitiated. To learn about PCs, one has to have a desire to learn and experiment - it took me at several years before I got comfortable with building and maintaining my own computers.

This is not to say that PC technology is terribly hard to learn. All you need to know is the how a basic PC is set up, and what components are required.

After learning the basics, its a matter of self experimentation and reading - with time, you'll be one of the pros! This article aims to provide you with at least some basic knowledge of PCs so that you can move on to learn more if you wish.


The Motherboard
The motherboard is one of the most important components in your PC. The motherboard is the glue that brings all the separate PC components together. There are several factors you need to look at when choosing motherboards, like the form factor (usually ATX), supported CPU, bus speed, supported RAM, form factor, built-in sound/video/LAN. You can learn more about how to select good motherboards in my motherboard guide.

The CPU
The CPU is another important component, since it is the 'brain' of your PC. You'll want to look at either Intel or AMD CPUs. The latest CPU from Intel is the Pentium 4, while that from AMD is the Athlon 64. Both are excellent processors. For further reading, you may also want to check out my CPU guide here.

The Computer Case
The computer case is your computer's housing. You need this to store your components, the largest of which is your motherboard. These days, the PC cases out there come in ATX form, which means they can accomodate ATX motherboards. Learn how to choose a good computer case here.

Computer Memory
Computer memory is also called RAM (Random Access Memory) - think of it as the storage area in the computer's brain. Typically, RAM sizes nowadays come up to 512 MB to 1 GB on average. Computers which are run as full servers typically have memory in the range of 4 GB or more. What are the factors to consider when selecting computer memory? You'll find out in this article on computer memory.

The Monitor
The monitor will be the most expensive component in your system. Newer monitors tend to have large 17-inch or 19-inch LCD screens which are easy on the eyes. There are also conventional CRT monitors which are bulkier but cost much less. If you want to know more about the difference between CRT and LCD monitors, this article on computer monitors will be of help to you.

Hard drives and Floppy Drives
A hard drive is essential for storing your system's data, including the operation system software. Hard drives are extremely sensitive devices and prone to failure, so get your hard drives from respected brands like Seagate, Maxtor and IBM. Floppy drives are important for reading 5.25 inch diskettes - these are fast becoming obsolete with the increasing commercial adoption of USB storage devices like Pen Drives. Still, for a basic computer, I'd still say the floppy drive is necessary. You'll also want to read more about selecting a good hard drive here.

CD-ROM Drives
A CD-ROM drive used to be an 'optional extra' in computers - it is no longer so. Most software packages come in CD format, so you must have a CD-ROM drive to read them. Typically, CD-ROM drives today need to be at least 24X speed to keep up with the newer software applications out there.

The Video Card
Unless you have built-in video on your motherboard, the video card is a must have component because it displays images on your monitor. The latest video cards support 3D graphics rendering and games - they are also the fastest changing technology in the PC world. Learn more about selecting video cards here.

The Keyboard and Mouse
These two input devices are obviously needed, otherwise you can't interact with the computer system. These components are fairly standard stuff and can be purchased at pretty cheap prices.

Optional Components
Next, there are the optional hardware components that need not be in every computer setup. These include: the sound card, the LAN card, as well as CD writers and DVD writers. Without them, the computer system will still be able to function.
The Sound Card
Some may argue that the sound card is an essential component in the PC, since it translates digital signals into analog audio for your listening pleasure. Well, that's true, if you want to play games or run multimedia applications in your PC. Otherwise, it may not be necessary, especially in business environments. The one brand that stands out for sound cards is Creative Labs, I'd recommend you get one of those. And guess what, I've got a guide on choosing sound cards too! Read it here.
The LAN Card
Also known as the NIC (Network Interface Card). Once used only in corporate environments, the LAN card is now increasingly used at home for connecting various computer together to form a network. Many motherboards now also feature built-in LAN ports so you don't have to buy a separate card.
The CD Writer and DVD Writer
These two devices, especially the DVD writer, are selling like hotcakes in the market. Essentially CD writers allow you to burn images of your data into a 600 MB to 700 MB CD, which is really handy for performing data backups. DVD writers are even better, since they allow you to burn data onto a 4.7 GB DVD.

Conclusion
Wow, that's a lot of components we've covered! Considering the huge array of computer products out there, it can prove to be very confusing to the beginner. I hope this article sums up the types of PC hardware available in the market and gives you some idea of what you will and will not need to buy.
