Deepfreeze won't stop me from hacking into your computer by rebooting 
into my OS in my USB drive. It will just not save changes, usless I have 
hacked it so well I have removed Deepfreeze.

Deepfreeze is designed to put the computer back to your 
original/preferred state at reboot. Not prevent the user from making 
changes.
