    This program is very unstable and buggy. And not secure. Not suitable for schools or internet cafés. Perhaps for Home use. But if it crashes, you better have a backup.

    Comments about Reboot Restore Rx as an Alternative to Deep Freeze
    Comment summary: Reboot Restore Rx is praised for offering the same restore-on-reboot functionality as Deep Freeze but at no cost. Users highlight its effectiveness in schools, libraries, and for personal use, with specific appreciation for its free version. However, there is a concern about its security in public environments, as users can disable it during restarts. It remains a strong competitor to Deep Freeze, especially valued for being a gratis alternative.
