| 1278157 | 2012-05-29 07:40:00 | Im still guessing noone looked at my link:( Yeah I did :D and while there are some good programs there, theres no way I would use all of them or even a fraction of them. Theres no actual advise on what to use, only saying "whats best" and thats debatable on some. One for example they say Malwarebytes is best free Antimalware - sorry its NOT, there are better ones that detect more. Basically you need more than one antimalware, no one program does it all. Theres actually a few programs that are not listed. Mind you some also in the wrong hands can be dangerous and cause more problems than they solve. Its a case of knowing what to use in what order and when. Another "best' "Paragon Backup and Recovery Free " Best ?? doubt it, seen way to many failures with that program. One thing no one has mentioned -- its all good and well having all these programs BUT some when using can actually cause more problems than cures once run and done a cleanout/removal - so simple question: If you run a program and it screws the PC further, are you able to actually fix the problem or have the knowledge on how to reverse what you have just done ;) |

| 1278159 | 2012-05-29 07:43:00 | I usually make an image before I start playing with other peoples computers just to be safe, at least I can put it back how it was when I got it. I don't do many fixes though maybe one every couple of months | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1278160 | 2012-05-29 07:52:00 | There used to be a sticky thread on PF1 for exactly this purpose. | Winston001 (3612) | ||
| 1278161 | 2012-05-29 08:00:00 | I did look at the link but it was fairly meaningless as others have said without any explanations | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1278162 | 2012-05-29 09:52:00 | Nirsoft have some great tools.... except some AVs decide they're "dodgy" and offer to quarantine them, or just outright delete them (hellloooo Crapafee). | Renegade (16270) | ||
| 1278163 | 2012-05-29 10:23:00 | Yep agree there :D Nirsoft have some damn good software. The reason most AV's go nuts with them is most Nirsoft programs are digging for hidden/private information of some kind - passwords, logon names etc, the exact actions some malware does. |

| 1278164 | 2012-05-29 22:38:00 | One for example they say Malwarebytes is best free Antimalware - sorry its NOT, there are better ones that detect more. What do you recommend as better than malwarebytes ?? (I know it doesnt detect everything) I was also using SpywareDoctor, but its becoming less usefull Back to topic .. Bart PE & Vista recovery disk are indispensable. Although both have issues with ACHI Paragon Disk Copy(bootable CD) : only for its file copy function (not for imaging/cloning) Maxblast (for cloning HD's) |
