Faronics Deep Freeze has all but bitten the dust at this point. They have been struggling to secure their program against a program called Unfreezer by Emiliano Torres (a black hat programmer in Santa Rosario, Argentina). In the last three versions of Deep Freeze, they have completely failed to stop Unfreezer from being able to thaw systems without the password. Each time they say they are "looking into it" and "analyzing the situation", blah, blah, blah. But each time they come out with a new version, Emiliano easily defeats it by updating Unfreezer almost immediately. They are also trying to keep the vulnerability a secret, saying nothing about it on their web site. They released a patch in a lame attempt to stop Unfreezer, but did not tell their customers it was available. Only those who requested help because their systems were being hacked were given the patch. Otherwise no one was told about it. In Deep Freeze Enterprise v5.70.220.1347, their latest version, intended to put a permanent end to Unfreezer, it only took Emiliano one week to update Unfreezer to kill even that version. You could say Emiliano put an end to Deep Freeze!

If anyone knows a way to help me secure my network of over 65 computers, please advise here. I have lost complete confidence in Deep Freeze. Faronics is dishonest, lame, stupid, and refuses to properly secure their program against Unfreezer.
What are some good programs to secure desktops that can't be hacked?
