| 1159931 | 2010-12-08 19:40:00 | I am trying to finally get my crap together and as part of this am updating my USB key to be a techies toolbox. As such, what apps should I be putting on this? I am thinking of: Latest Firefox MalwareBytes Rogue Remover MalwareBytes Anti-Malware Ad-aware and/or Spybot Freebie AV - probably Avast What else?? Also, am I able to have a definitions file to any or all of these applications... if I could get those that would be great, as sometimes network access is non-existent or not advisable till the computer is somewhat clean |

| 1159932 | 2010-12-08 19:52:00 | The def files are probably on whatever site as well. I wouldnt worry about rogue remover, just use malwarebytes. I would also get a USB key with a write-protect switch or something. Just in case the PC you put it on is infected, and it doesnt have an AV program on it. Then it'll be buggered. Will you be putting the install files (as is) of those programs on it, or using portable versions of those programs (if they exist)? |

| 1159934 | 2010-12-08 21:05:00 | Maybe also include portable abiword - a word processing software. As noted (linked) by Gary67 the portable apps suite has a range of utilities. Don't think there's a portable spybot, but some have claimed to make a portable version as noted on the spybot web site. I tried but a bit tedious, and gave up... Also back up your USB utilities somewhere, e.g. on another USB. |

| 1159937 | 2010-12-09 04:24:00 | Put something like this (http://www.sysresccd.org/) on it too - it's doesn't exclude anything that's been mentioned above, and is very, very useful to have around. | Erayd (23) | ||
