This protection software is designed to provide extra system protection, so is increasingly
popular in schools. It resets client computers to initial settings on rebooting,
thus cancelling any work or records created by a user. This can be a useful feature
in a training suite or other education setting, as it eliminates any unwanted actions
by user.
We advise that schools and organisations using HDGuard should use our network versions,
rather than the CD-based “single user” versions. The network versions save data to
a server, and as the program content based on the client machines is “read only”,
it will not be affected by HDGuard clearing out and resetting the local file. Our
network versions and HDGuard are fully compatible with each other.
If using the “single user” CD version of the program, then HDGuard deletes the data
saved in local folders by Wordshark and Numbershark, thus deleting records of games
played, work set, or children registered. Whilst our stand-alone versions will run
on networks protected by HDGuard, their functionality is greatly reduced.
