Prevent Errant Applications From Locking Your System

Symantec has released "Norton CrashGuard" that allows frozen 16- and 32-bit applications to be released without requiring an immediate reboot of the system. It's available for free until March 1, 1997.

What Does Norton CrashGuard Do?

Runs in the background and intercepts most 16-bit and 32-bit crashes before your work is lost.

Fixes most crashes long enough to save your unsaved work.

Uses exclusive Anti-Freeze technology to try and unfreeze "frozen" applications so you can save your work.

Uses Symantec LiveUpdate to stay current. With a single click, you can download the latest free updates to Norton CrashGuard.

What is Anti-Freeze?

Norton Anti-Freeze is unique technology developed by the experts in The Symantec Knowledge Center. It enables you to "unfreeze" many applications that have stopped responding and appear to be frozen so you can save your work.
