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.
