When we are under Windows and we love installing a whole bunch of stuff of more or less dubious provenance, we have to know how to stay vigilant.
You probably have a properly configured anti-virus and firewall. But if you're even more reckless, virtualization software is a plus.
Toolwiz Time Freeze simply offers to freeze your Windows while you do your little manipulations. It is now possible to safely test a questionable program, without risk of altering the system.
Indeed, Toolwiz Time Freeze is useful, lightweight and easy-to-use software. It allows you to restore a system to what it was before dangerous manipulation or infection.
This program will simply clone your work environment, virtualize it, to be able to attempt risky operations: surfing on a shady site, opening an unsafe attachment or installing software that does not have a security signature.
Before doing this type of action, switch to virtual mode so as not to contaminate your PC. If there is no risk, the changes will be made to your real system.
How to use Toolwiz Time Freeze?
To freeze your computer with Time Freeze: download the program and start the installation. Do Install now when you are presented with the user agreement and accept the restart that will be offered to you.
When you return to the office Windows, you will have a new icon at the bottom of the systray near the clock. By hovering over it, you will know if the different protection modes are activated or not.
When you are about to do something that risks your PC, click Start Time Freeze in the main window.
When you are done with your potentially dangerous operations, do Stop TimeFreeze.
A window will then ask you if you want to return to the mode. Normal taking into account the modifications made or on the contrary, restart the PC by returning to the configuration which was yours before clicking on Start TimeFreeze. I advise you to scan your PC before choosing the first solution.
