During installation, FreezeX performs a deep scan of the workstation and authorizes everything that is currently installed. Following installation, any other executable from any source is presumed to be unauthorized and will neither launch nor install. Because the method does not rely on blacklists or definition files, updates are not needed.
Faronics said that FreezeX detects over 80 executable file types and operates in any user mode, including administrator. It is compatible with Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000 and XP and with major antivirus applications as well as with all user applications.
FreezeX provides a command-line interface, and can be deployed and managed over a network. The administrator can enable or disable the software at any time, and can exempt specific applications, folders or network paths.
FreezeX is available now. Enterprise pricing involves a base rate of $24.95 for media and documentation, plus fees starting at $27.50 per license for 10 licenses and ranging through $9.60 each for 10,000 licenses. A separate maintenance package is offered. Special pricing is available for education and nonprofit customers.
