System Requirements / System Impact
- PC running Windows® 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 (Though some apps are only for specific versions of Windows)
- 70 MB of available hard drive space
- Background services consume less than 10mb of RAM
- Snapback-Apps is only available for English (US) distribution at this point in time.
Why can't I just run this app alone, without installing SnapBack Apps?
- To run SAFELY, SnapBack must be installed before it is allowed to run anything, or it couldn't be certified as safe. So nothing ever runs from your web browser and nothing is ever sent back over the internet from your PC.
- SnapBack will never initiate any action without users' informed consent, or without global permission to automatically manage a specific area of concern, such as security updates.
- SnapBack includes all the Apps, since the collection is so small, (~7 MB download).
- SnapBack minimizes using any PC resources, and can also control other intrusive programs like Windows Updates or unwanted reboots when not convenient.
- SnapBack is automatically kept up to date at all times, so SnapBack becomes safer, smarter and can improve jobs you've asked it to manage, such as Windows updates, backups, laptop is unplugged, etc.
- SnapBack re-verifies each App's hash before it is downloaded, and then re-verifies again before it is allowed to run.
- SnapBack Apps are all built with expert's advice before CDP re-certifies them as safe and effective.
- SnapBack Apps are all signed, hashed, and deployed by CDP, so not one byte can be modified or the app won't run.
