Prevent and Protect
• Crash Protector protects your Windows system from application failure
and crashes.

performance in real time, providing advance alerts and warnings.
• Trash Guard protects all the files you delete, even files deleted in DOS or
in 16-bit Windows applications, by sending them to the Recycle Bin.
• Safe & Sound lets you create automatic or interactive backups of
selected drives, directories, files or file types. You can back up to a
protected volume file (a separate area on the drive). A protected volume
file contains information about each file in every sector to ensure that

severely damaged or lost. You can also create mirror backups that
instantly back up data as you save it, make backups after a time delay
when the PC is idle, or create manual backups.

icons, startup and close screens, and so on.
