ABOUT THIS RELEASE
========================================================================================
Deep Freeze helps eliminate computer damage and downtime by making computer
configurations indestructible. Once Deep Freeze is installed on a computer, any changes 
made to the computer—regardless of whether they are accidental or malicious—are never 
permanent. Deep Freeze provides immediate immunity from many of the problems that 
plague computers today—inevitable configuration drift, accidental system 
misconfiguration, malicious software activity, and incidental system degradation.
