[Libs-Or] fortres, deep freeze or...

[John]

Hi,

 

CCRLS uses the enterprise package from Faronics, that includes both DeepFreeze, anti-virus software, and a  management console too.  And the price is not too painful.

 

Thanks,

To secure our public access computers, we have been using Fortres products for six years, beginning with version 5.0 to the latest, 6.5.  

The old saying is true…familiarity breeds contempt.  It has taken 60+ emails to their tech support department just to create a desktop folder icon allowing patrons to save files.

This entailed a rebuild, assorted coding inserts, registry permission changes, and the issue remains to be resolved.

In April, XP PRO goes away and we will be upgrading to a different operating system (possibly WIN 7 PRO).  

Is there a friendlier security system out there?  DeepFreeze has been mentioned in previous discussions.

Before we load clunky old Fortres, any input on a different, more-effcient, more user-friendly, product would be greatly appreciated.  Any and all responses are welcomed, on or off-board.

 

Thank you,
