Merlin Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Hi all, I'm looking to put together a "kit" of standard programs on a USB drive that I can take with me when I go to family/friends/clients places, to cover the majority of problems I would be likely to come across on a typical unmaintained computer So far I've got: Avast Ccleaner Cwshredder Adaware Spybot AVG Zonealarm Firefox and Memtest86+ on a bootable CD any other suggestions/comments? cheers...
cdnvic Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Avira Antivir, a free AV that has tested at the top of the rankings lately. Advanced Windows Care, cleans registry, spyware, startup programs, old files, and tweaks Windows for optimal performance.
sabajja Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Nothing beats a well setup boot CD, as it can be booted on 99% of the systems out there, when you are locked out. Here's a good one: http://www.ubcd4win.com/ The CD above contains almost all the tools you'll ever need, and it has Antivir (which is great) Another great tool to add to the collection should be "Dial-A-Fix". The most usefull feature (among others), is it scans the registry automatically,for all those known regtweaks that malware uses to disable your windows, and removes them.
Farma Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 There's been a series of Hacked by Godzilla viruses doing the rounds. It shows up with a variety of "Hacked by ......." names. You might like to add http://www.aphonda.co.th/Download/KillGodzilla4.zip
