We use deepfreeze standard edition on the pc's in our lab. I unfreeze them once a month and download virus def's . It is easy to install and easy to unfreeze for software installs or updates.

Does anyone use a program called Deep Freeze that restores PCs to the exact configuration as when they were started for the day? I know that there are at least two versions - a basic and a professional. From questions to deepfreeze.com, the basic version even erases anti-virus updates that may have been automatically installed during the day. The professional version has a way around that. Any files saved to the "C" drive or desktop during the day are also erased on restart.
I'm trying to find a way to eliminate the student-installed stuff and any spybots that might be installed behind the scenes short of manually deleting them and running SpyBot or Ad-Aware. There are ways to manually or through network management to "unfreeze" the machines to install software that a teacher/administrator/tech person wants there.
