Might have to take back what I said earlier. This program does not work
if you use a file cleaner such as bleachbit (or probably several
others). 

Did not prevent deletion of about 400mb of temp, cookie and other
garbage files deleted by bleachbit. Files remain deleted even after
toolwiz freeze was activated. Also the program did not function
properly. Would not even load even though task manager on win 8.1 showed
it loaded. 

Tried to repair twice. Program came back and loaded ok, but the files
were still gone. Maybe I misunderstood the purpose of the program which
I thought was to prevent changes by some outside hacker. If keeps file
deletions when it's activated, it's worthless. Even keep a deletion of a
file I specically entered in the program not to change/delete. I don't
know maybe you're going to say that it's not supposed to keep file
deletions? Well if a hacker has root or WRAT privileges and deletes your
files, this program will not help. 

Uninstalled. Uninstall appears to be clean but deleted toolwiz registry
entries just in case. Try again guys, no cigar.
