Clean Slate v4 Clean Slate is designed to protect school and public access computers from malicious or inexperienced users. While not restricting users’ activities, Clean Slate will scour drives back to their original state upon reboot.
Clean Slate takes only minutes to install and needs no attention, ever, for most installations. Clean Slate restores the computer to its original configuration, no matter what users have done: including erasing files, installing software, downloading viruses and Trojan horses, and altering icons.

Clean Slate is easy, yet powerful and flexible. Administrators, by password, can specify individual drives or directories that are not to be covered by Clean Slate, allowing persistent changes in some areas on the disk. Additionally, administrators can view all changes made and specify which changes should be undone on reboot and which should be committed as permanent changes.

Q: How does it compare with Fortres 101?
A: Clean Slate is ideal for environments where a more aggressive security agent, like Fortres 101, would lock computers down too tightly. For example, in a setting where users are being taught to alter the appearance or behavior of Windows, Clean Slate allows changes to be made to the system which are simply undone when the machine is rebooted.

Q: How does it work?
A: Clean Slate actually prevents the original files from being modified. Instead it caches all changes in a special area that is hidden and protected from the users. When the machine is rebooted, Clean Slate merely erases the cached changes.
