FAQs
What is DriveShield PLUS?
Hard Drive Protection with " Instant Restore" Technology.
What does it do?
Insulates the hard drive from changes and makes all actions on the computer temporary unless designated to do otherwise.
How exactly does it work?
Centurion's " Instant Restore" technology creates a temporary buffer zone or scratch space in virtual memory while write-protecting all or portions of the hard drive. Changes or unwanted code are written to the buffer zone, allowing the computer to behave as if all the changes are "actually" taking effect, when in reality, these changes are temporary. A simple reboot will instantly flush the buffer zone free of the undesired changes, culprits, or other negative impact to the machine...restoring the configuration to the pristine image previously established. Essentially, the computer is restored to the user's favored condition after each chosen reboot.
Why is this application unique?
It protects the computer from the dangers of surfing while also protecting the computer from the user. The user can make any changes they desire without penalty. Simply reboot and all configuration changes are back to normal. Since the changes were temporary, they do not permanently impact he computer's settings or operation.
What if I download and INSTALL a virus?
ALL changes, downloads, Viruses, Spyware, Trojans, Worms, Cookies and other tracking devices are routed to the temporary storage area and are completely eliminated from the computer upon reboot. Period! Even though the computer "seems" as if these changes are actually permanent.
How does this help the User?
- Assures the user of an operational and efficient computer.
- User can experiment with their computer without fear of "messing it up!"
- User can maintain a consistent operational configuration which is other wise impossible. Once you change a computer without DriveShield PLUS it is changed forever more. With DriveShield PLUS, your computer is restored to the original configuration.
- Users can avoid the negative consequences of Internet dangers such as: Viruses, Spyware, tracking devices, and other malicious code.
- Protects from Viruses during the "unprotected delta", the period before the Virus has been identified.
What are possible negative consequences of running my computer without DriveShield PLUS protecting my hard drive?
- Downloads provide Viruses that attack your operating system or alter its proper operation.
- Downloads can take up a great deal of space on your computer continually scanning your computers information and grinding your computer to a halt.
- Spyware and other tracking software records your every move and infringes upon your personal privacy by capturing your credit card numbers, the sites you have visited, personal passwords, instant message conversations, redirects you to undesired sites, and establishes a personality profile of the user based upon collecting information regarding your internet travels.
- Once malicious programs are downloaded and running on your system, they become extremely difficult to remove.
What is the best course of action I can take to maintain and protect my computer?
Take advantage of the various security options available to you...but recognize the security function of each. No one product offers complete protection. Antivirus protects against viruses once they are identified. DriveShield PLUS is the only application that actually protects the entire hard drive and configuration while making all changes temporary. Find a good antivirus application, a good personal firewall, and add DriveShield PLUS to your computer.
