Re: Computer lab security

Driveshield:  http://www.codework.com/driveshield/

> From the page:

   DriveShield is a software solution that  allows  a system to reset  its
   original configuration with a simple reboot, no matter what changes
   users have made including erasing files, installing software and
   altering settings.  DriveShield is designed to protect  computers used
   by multiple users ( e.g in schools, libraries and businesses) from
   undesirable changes.  Remote administration feature allows computer
   protection to be enabled/disabled via the network controller.

Gets rid of all virii, worms and other undesirables on reboot.   Set it to
reboot daily or whatever.
