Publisher's description of Power Shadow
PowerShadow automatically sanitizes all Web activities and surfing history by giving you the power to generate with one click, a clone of your Windows system, identical and fully functional as the original. You then surf the Net or perform any other sensitive activities while in this cloned PowerShadow mode. Everything you do while in PowerShadow mode is actually being done, not by your operating system, but by a clone of the operating system. Therefore, when you exit PowerShadow mode, everything (except what you save to a non-system drive) vanishes. Likewise, if a virus attacks, it attacks the clone system. If spyware is installed, it is installed on the clone system only. If you delete a file, you only have deleted a clone file, leaving the original untouched. The program offers absolute security and privacy in one elegant software solution. Version 2.6 includes new interface and online upgrade function.

Version: Power Shadow 2.6
"If you could only have 1 security app.,"
Pros: this would be it! There is a version 2.82, but it's in Chinese. There is a work-around, but I just decided to go for the 2.6 that is already in English. The program comes with step-by-step instructions that even a noob could have working in seconds. Default settings make sure of that. Pop-ups guide you through engaging the "shadow" and what to do when you try to reboot. Could not be any easier. All changes done in Windows are gone after restart. Uninstalling applications aren't even permanent. WARNING:SHUT DOWN ALL RUNNING PROGRAMS BEFORE ACTIVATING THE "SHADOW" And yes, I know this for a fact....good thing I back-up everything.
Cons: The only thing that would make this perfect, would be if the original website listed the FREE key-code on their page;)

Version: Power Shadow 2.6
"Replacement for Deepfreeze? Then this program is waiting to be installed!"
Pros: Easy to use program for hard drive virtualization, much like Deep Freeze. Also the GUI is user friendly so those who are not savvy won't be scared to operate this program. In some cases, it can actually increase system performance a bit. It has a nifty button in the GUI when switching to shadow mode without the use of restarting, although a restart is needed when switching to normal mode. You can find the key to activate this program in most security sites like castlecops wiki.
Cons: Users who has RAID in their hard drives are not supported. Tried that and an error shows up. You may see "error code : 82f37128". If so may try searching for the 2.8.2 version in some sites with the english translation.
