Introduction

The process of updating the virus definitions on workstations protected by Deep Freeze Enterprise 

involves three fundamental steps:

1.  Rebooting the workstations into a 

Thawed

 state so the updates are kept upon restart.

2.  Updating the Virus Signature File.
3.  Shutting down or restarting the workstation into a 

Frozen

 state.

This  white  paper  provides  technical  information  on  how  to  perform  these  steps  with  Panda’s 

BusinesSecure Antivirus.

Deep Freeze is not marketed as an antivirus product. However, Deep Freeze protects 

workstations from any virus. Just restart the Frozen workstation and the virus is gone. 

Many  viruses  require  a  fundamental  change  to  be  made  to  the  core  files  and  only 

become active on restart. With Deep Freeze installed and activated, these viruses are 

deleted upon restart and therefore never become active.
Ensure the BIOS is set to boot directly to the C: drive and that the BIOS is protected 

with a password; failure to do so can result in boot sector viruses being transferred to 

the hard disk drives via infected floppy disks.

Setting the Workstations to a Thawed state

In order to make any permanent changes, the workstations protected by Deep Freeze have to be set in 

Thawed

 state. Those permanent changes can include antivirus updates; therefore, the workstations 

must be rebooted into a 

Thawed

 state before applying these updates.

There are basically three ways to remotely set workstations into a 

Thawed

 state: 

• By manually using the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console
• By setting up an Scheduled Maintenance Period 
• By using the Command Line Control
