The only one i tried was Shadow Defender. Pretty solid protection and you only have to worry about some rather hard
methods of bypass.

Back in the past try Toolwiz FREE but it can only protect C: partition.

Shadow Defender because it protects other partitions (major plus), extremely light but very powerful, very simple to use,
development is active and it has been tested numerous times and always defeats malware

Shadow Defender for the same reasons described above. Buy it once, keep it forever, protect all partitions.

Shadow Defender is one of the very few security related softs worth its price: $35 Lifetime license.

In terms of easeofuse, features, compatibility, etc it is one of the best paid softs.

That being said, if you don't have the financial means, then you can check out Horizon DataSys Reboot Restore Rx it is
similar, but different and it is freeware.

depend what you want to do.

Testing softs/malwares: Shadow Defender is better than Time Freeze

Locking the computer: Deepfreeze was made for it , mostly used by schools or internet cafe to avoid users installing crap.

If you're talking Deep Freeze Standard, why not use Reboot Restore Rx? It's the same functions and service, but it's free.

If you're talking Deep Freeze Enterprise, you could try Drive Vaccine. More of a beefed up program, but it's less expensive
than Deep Freeze.

I'd avoid Time Freeze and Shadow Defender. The few times I tried them, the support was next to nonexistent. Which isn't
JHomes important to some people, but if your program goes belly up I expect you to respond quickly. I had an issue with Shadow
Level 4 Defender and their support took a week to get back to me. By that time I already uninstalled.

SHvFl So you are saying any program in Program files will be able to update and keep updates? On there site they mention only

JHomes If it has a .exe extension it can be updated. Not sure about other extensions (I've never had to try nor ask) but I have around
Level 4 7 programs that Drive Vaccine updates along with Windows for me over the weekend. It makes my life easier.

I like, and use, Shadow Defender.

Time Freeze was a very nice (& free) alternative which granted peace of mind, and sounder sleep, during XP's twilight
months and in those times which followed shortly after the O.S. was no longer supported. These are two I am familiar
with, and recommend whole heartedly!!
As I've paused and read @Huracan's comment, I'll add that you cannot go wrong from among any of the choices you've listed,
as well as others that were presented.

I used Toolwiz Time Freeze on Windows 8.1 about a year or more ago, but something went wrong and had to recover my OS.
Spawn On Windows 7, I wouldn't hesitate to install one of them.

Never thought of that. I don't know i feel that most people always seek for the best product. It's like when you're choosing a
graphics card for your PC you want the best one with the better reviews. Humans naturally listen to the majority. People
should have their own opinions and not follow others opinions. It's sort of like having two people in a group that have to
answer a question the person that attracts the most attention will end up attracting the majority of people even if the
answer is wrong. Hope this sentence made sense.

For rollback capabilities both are indeed good just choose one.

But who is the winner? it is all about the flexibility of the program.

Toolwiz Time Freeze is already eliminated so the game goes between Shadow Defender and Deep Freeze.

Trusted Shadow Defender by nature are more flexible compare to Deep Freeze since the environment nature of virtualization both
implemented in different manner.
