For anybody who would actually like a product like this. One that's real I
mean, as opposed to the fraud this guy's trying. Have a look at Deep Freeze
(http://www.faronics.com/html/deepfreeze.asp) or the more consumer
oriented Norton Goback (http://www.symantec.com/goback/).

There are more alternatives on google.

Interesting, that they are calling a computer a "he". Mayhaps I should
tell them, it is a *thing*, hehe.

This is a NEWS group, got it?

LOL. Well, I've got mine under control. Women know each other.

Well I read the add and decided to risk £8 of my own personal money and
heres what I thought:

I wiped my machine and setup windows just as I wanted it, turned off
automatic updates, and decided to challenge the theory behind the reset
card - I DIDNT install an antivirus, which can be risky business with
Microsofts latest OS on a broadband connection that just seems to hoover up
all of the viruses on the internet. The card was very easy to install and
just seemed to work! After a while of messing with my desktop icons making a
complete mess (I messed with the icons to make sure the product worked
before taking it on the net) I gave my pc a reboot, when windows booted up I
was quite pleased to see my desktop clean and tidy. I then decided to give
the card a real test. After visiting several "moody" websites I had ended
up with aload of dialers, adware, viruses etc etc etc... after an hour or so
my pc finaly graunched to a halt, I decided to reboot the pc to find that
windows was just back to normal, no viruses, adware, spyware. I think this
card is probaly the best thing available on the net today! It costs under
£10 (wich is cheaper than any antivirus i have ever seen) It works and means
that you can even show off by challenging people to break the computer. All
in all a very usefull gadget!

The ability to restore easily to a pre-infected state is nice, but that
does NOT negate the need for an anti-virus or any other safe computing
"best practice". The idea behind AV is (or was??) to prevent your
'needing' to restore. During the time you spend online before you start
noticing sluggishness for your test - you were probably spewing out all
sorts of malicious packets, It is best to realize the viruses aren't
"your" problem - they are "our" problem even if you can quickly and
easily restore when you feel like it.

This device is 'dangerous' to OTHERS in the hands of those that don't
understand the nature of the problem.

 

[The Happy Hippy]

Well all I can say is that if I get a virus all I have todo is reboot the
computer and its gone, and to be honest for £8 I don't care how it works,
all I know is that it works and its better than an antivirus, also does CMOS
protection wich is quite handy.

Think what you may but I am a beliver, most of you maybe thinking "I don't
belive in this rubbish" to be honest neither did I untill I saw it with my
own eyes.

Yes, it is a good thing, but that shouldn't mean that you can go around
catching viruses just because they are so easy to recover from. By the
time you recover you will have caused increased risk to others. The fact
that you don't care about that consequence make you appear antisocial.

all I know is that it works and its better than an antivirus,

Better than an antivirus does at recovery, but that is not really the
point of AV anyway - it's a tool aimed at prevention.

also does CMOS
protection wich is quite handy.

Think what you may but I am a beliver, most of you maybe thinking "I don't
belive in this rubbish" to be honest neither did I untill I saw it with my
own eyes.

You should use more than eyes and realize that recovery and prevention
are different things. AV's don't detect malware so that they can remove
them, they detect them so that you can avoid executing them. What they
do to aid in removal is to "identify" some of them and provide removal
routines. A good backup/recovery scheme is a good thing, but is NOT a
substitute for preventive measures. Saying you don't need AV if you use
such a device only shows you have misconceptions about what AV is (or at
least what it was before it became a 'morning after' pill).

The product should be sold as what it is (a recovery tool) and not an
alternative to a part of safe practice, to do otherwise is reckless and
a disservice to others.

I didn't say I am a non-believer, I said, the product *exists* already,
and has done so for probably more than six years. It was invented in
Germany by a student, who had his idea realized by the Schwarz company,
and there is even another "PC Waechter" there.

The main problem with that solution is: As long as you don't revert the
system to its original status, it will behave as all infected systems
do, and send mass mails or mass messages (IRC and similar services),
trying to infect even more machines. If your pc is running 24/7 for a
week, it has infected hundreds of victims. And a "reversal to the
former state" can only be performed on *your* computer; the others
*stay* infected and have no means to get rid of nasty multithread
critters.

Don't sit there, and think smugly just how safe you are; as you are not
alone in this world, and you are still responsible for everything that
you (or your belongings) do to others.

Hi Gabriele

Thanks for your reply. I do deeply understand things from your point of view
but if you look at it from a network admin point of view the card does keep
system downtime to a minimum, the fast removal of viruses from systems
is a very handy thing for me to have. I personaly think the best use for a
device like this
is in the typical networking environment where users have bad habits of
downloading
all sorts of nasty little critters, ok yeah domain controllers can tame the
users to an extent
but as a low cost solution for small networks its definatly a must have.
Other good uses
of this are for people such as software developers who need a solution that
is faster than
ghosting a system.

Also just out of interest how many people out there in cyber space would
just like a PC
that went on the internet, got email and didn't break? (by saying that I
mean yeah your computer
will break but then you just reboot and carry on as normal)

Oh one other thing, doesn't the card make computing safer? If my computer
gets a virus and starts broadcasting to other machines, I reboot and the
little
critter's gone, where as if I was running say Norton or Mc Afee and the
virus gets past
the AV (wich the little buggers sometimes do) that means im infected and
potentialy broadcasting the virus
for a longer time altogether.

protection wich is quite handy.

Unless you're planning on rebooting every few minutes, you're putting
your internet connection at risk.

If you're using M$'s eXtra Patch system Without av, firewall, etc, all
you need to do is get infected with spamware. A few reports to your
isp, and your account is gone. They may not terminate your account
the first time, but repeated infections would most likely do it.

You can't replace safe-hex with an automatic backup/restore, and expect
to be allowed to continue connecting to the internet. This backup/restore
utility may be usefull for internet cafes, libraries, etc, but for the
average home user, it's absolutely useless.

Good Luck!
