Brillow_Head February 26, 2005 Share Brillow_Head Member February 26, 2005 The Radix Protector I love this idea, especially I just had to do a format due to one bad night of web surfing. I gnabbed about 10-12 spyware and adware bots and it locked my system up something awful. I spent about 2 hours reinstalling, updating, and resetting. With this little bad boy you can make an image after you get all fresh installed, setup you MyDocuments or whatever folder you want as a "saved" folder, and then 30 seconds later, be back to a fresh clean install if you mess something up. Plus is doesn't take up the nasty resourses that windows restore uses...plus the added bonus of security...you dont want someone messing with your computer, buy the USB port version and take it with you. No more nast roommate looking at pron on your comp, or younengs going to websites they shouldn't be going in the first place. Also, say I want to try out Linux...I install, I hate it...30 seconds later, back to Win XP Pro with SP2, Steam, HL2, CS:S, MS Office all in like new status. 80 bucks for the PCI version, 100 bucks for the USB version.... I think it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubblegum Bandit February 26, 2005 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member February 26, 2005 Is this different than the windows restore point? Would that not do the same thing? **nm, actually went to the link, looks like it could come in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillow_Head February 26, 2005 Author Share Brillow_Head Member February 26, 2005 (edited) Easily with your Privacy settings turned low, using IE without any spyware protection and easily if you have tons of protection but love porn sites. I'm not a bit privacy settings individual at the moment, a few more incidences like this and I'm may become a staunch supporter tho...as for the latter, I play too many games to waste my time with porn. As for Bubs comment, I like my rig to run with as much free resources as possible, window's restore...resource hog IMO...I also run a borring black background, free's up that extra 200kB of RAM baby.

appalachian_fox February 28, 2005 Share appalachian_fox Member February 28, 2005 Yeah, there's also Norton Ghost. Easy to use if you read the directions once and probably a lot cheaper. Of course, it takes roughly 25 minutes to restore a full 10 Gig partition and it doesn't have the USB boot dongle option, though I would imagine I'd be more likely to implement BIOS passwords here than boot dongles...If SD keys are any indicator, that would be a nightmare to support. Nifty idea, but it seems a bit overkill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
