When we last updated Toolwiz Time Freeze we scanned it using VirusTotal and checked the developers site was not listed negatively with any of the reputable site advisory sites such as WOT or SiteAdvisor. We pride ourselves on safe downloads from honest and trustworthy developers
I can tell you now Bala - TimeFreeze is excellent. Works fine on my Win7 64-bit system. It's very simple but also extremely effective. Two Modules: 1) Total protection and 2) Protect user designated files/folders.

Thanks Jim, your insights are always valued.
Do you remember 'GoBack' by Roxio back in early XP days before Norton bought them and discontinued?
Although this "take me back in time" program was not free it was light years ahead of current Windows System Restore or OSX Time Machine. This is the quandary of independent coders, become moderate successful, sellout to a giant IT firm, if the program can't be integrated ... kill it.
All the best to you and yours.

Hey Bala - To be honest I don't actually recall that one, but I do appreciate where you are coming from. 
DVDShrink is a typical example - a masterful piece of coding, the author snapped up by a huge corporation on the proviso that the DVDShrink project is shelved, a brilliant piece of software no longer under development.
I'll be very interested to hear what you think of TimeFreeze Bala.

Sorry for the time lapse, I've been very busy...
Toolwiz Time Freeze works on all modern versions of windows from WinXP right through Win8 Dev both x86 and x64. Toolwiz Time Freeze is astonishingly easy to use. I trained an 11 year old in 5 minutes with no complications. TTF offers a surprising level of protection in such a small package with minuscule system resources. Super easy to revert your system back to its original state: a reboot is required. TTF allows for start-up with windows or manual start. TTF's small floating desktop toolbar is trivial to turn-off.
The exe is completely clean, installs itself instantly, no adware or spyware. Best practice to turn-off your firewall during install. A must have tool for casual users offering excellent system protection. Get this while TTF is still free.
For Geeks: [not to be confused with Greeks
]
Should not replace Sandboxie which sandboxes an individual program and requires no reboot, although TTF does have user specified folder monitoring. TTF does not replace a dedicated VM. Since TTF runs within the Windows Kernel, [two Windows kernel drivers] if you have a Kernel Panic or System32 folder becomes corrupt by a low level rootkit, TTF will not offer much protection. TTF does hook itself to your MBR so if your security solution gets upset: exclude. Also, TTF does not replace paid tools such as Faronics - Deep Freeze which works outside of Windows; important if you experience catastrophic failure, DF Linux kernel restore points will get you up-and-running within minutes.
Overall, 5 stars.

Fair to say this is a full time real time sandbox environment?
Curious to know how the program is on system resources too...
Not sure I understand the empowerment the software provides. I should try it before asking stupid questions, but this one sounds like a pretty big change/shock to the system, and I'd like to know what exactly I am enabled to do using the features before I go with an install.
Jabbing in the dark, but it sounds like the program copies everything that could be in danger, and then gives me options for making reversions before they reach my system...like a sandbox. Would be nice for testing programs me thinks...
The real test for me would be protection improvement vs. resource usage...I'm on an old duo core...although I do have plenty of RAM.
Trolling for a little extra feedback I guess...

Yes
Minimal, only one background process running.
No big shocks, hardly know its running.
TTF stores a copy of your current state in a 4.5 GB folder so you do need a little hard disk space.
Any CPU within the past 10 years is sufficient. No special Ram requirement.
test Toolwiz Time Freeze current version 1.6.0 you will be pleasantly surprised.

Sounds like it's worth a try. Sure is getting top ratings. Only thing is I'm on XP, and I hate restarts. Not that they're really slow...they are, but I hate the stresses of restarts. For that reason, I leave her in standby and try to avoid any disturbances to the harmonic status quo...
Bala7, gratitudes for the grapple on LibreOffice. Curious if you saw the news with Intel. I was a bit bit stunned that LO found a way to get in with that type of corp. Hope it works out...

Makes perfect sense to me. Intel is working on a pad/tablet running Intel's x86 architecture to compete with all other pad/tablets running on ARM architecture. Any pad capable of operating a full office suite and Toolwiz Time Freeze will finally dethrone Apple. Google's Android can not threaten Apple because Google Docs require an always-on Internet connection.
Thanks to you guys, Bala7 and Jim, for the reviews on this one. Hands down one of the finest apps I've run across in my time reviewing freeware.
I just can't get enough of the apps that are fully focused on one great idea...in this case a virtual installation mode. I guess the best comparison with freeware I could make would be with Sun VirtualBox. In this case not because of the virtual environment aspect, but because of the straight to the point delivery of a great idea in a free program found in each of the programs. No mistakes, everyone should have TimeFreeze. It's a killer app...

x86 and x64 supported. Rarely see tools in this category as free. (Sandboxie perhaps, but that's for only one program)
Bit busy around here with the holidays right around the corner but will test and report back in about a week.
