What is the difference between Smart Shield Home and Smart Shield?
Smart Shield is used most often in a corporate environment because it has more features. For example, it can be managed remotely by a Smart Control Resource Manager application or it can be installed unattended.
Smart Shield Home is moving all the user profile folders into the KeepZone. So the users can save data in their profile and this data is not deleted upon reboot even the protection is turned on.
Smart Shield don't have the KeepZone, with protection turned on we will loose any changes that we made on the protected drives upon reboot.Smart Shield has the persistent storage that can be mounted and unmounted from the GUI. Persistent Storage is a virtual drive created by Smart Shield to allow users to permanently save data while protection is enabled. Data saved on the persistent storage drive will remain on a system even when the machine is rebooted from a protected state.
Smart Shield Home has no possibility to protect other partitions, it will protect only the C:\ drive. With Smart Shield you can choose to protect the other partitions/internal drives if you want. Smart Shield has the capability to block 18 types of USB devices and the devices connected at the Fireware port. Smart Shield has the Stealth mode, that is a feature that causes the shield in the system tray to disappear. When Stealth Mode is turned on, a user must enter one of the hotkeys (specified during the installation) to access the Smart Shield program.Smart Shield Home don't have the possibility to resize the temporary storage. The temporary storage area is a file (not accessible to a user) that Smart Shield Home/Smart Shield uses for writing, reading, and tracking the changes a user makes to the drive. When a user makes a change to any data on the drive, Smart Shield is tracking and writing all the user's changes into the temporary storage area. It is also reading all these changes from the temporary storage area. So in actuality, the system reads and writes the user's changes to and from that location only; never altering the "actual" information on the hard drive. However, to the user it appears as if the changes are actually being saved. If the current protection status is set to "enabled" at the time of a reboot or shutdown, the information in the storage area is cleared and will not be written to the hard drive.
