| 787231 | 2009-06-29 22:19:00 | I'm visiting one of my friends this afternoon, their PC, laptop and EEE something are showing signs of infections. My question - what do you techies take along with you - I usually take along a CD or pendrive with the latest in whatever AV (with signatures), and the same with a few anti-spyware proggies. I haven't yet had to use UBD. Just interested to see what you use and what's on your pendrive. sarel |

| 787232 | 2009-06-29 22:23:00 | Depends what its infected with, if it infects removable drives / USB flash drives, I wouldnt use a USB flash drive unless you can write protect it (so it wont get infected as well). | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 787233 | 2009-06-29 22:31:00 | UBCD4Win can also come in handy | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 787234 | 2009-06-29 22:38:00 | Here's whats on my thumbdrive: pastie.org Its not complete, I know I'm missing things like a PDF reader (FoxIT) and a few other regular bits like Firefox, but I've just recently cleaned out my "Apps" dir and started from scratch again ;) |

| 787237 | 2009-06-30 00:53:00 | once you've fixed it completely (and are absolutely sure), suggest they use their computer under a standard account instead of an administrator account. I did this after fixing a friend's computer who had a lot of problems. Since changing to a standard account, haven't had any issues since. You don't run linux all the time as root, so why do it in windows? :) |

| 787238 | 2009-06-30 02:36:00 | I've got Nod32 (subscribed) - is there any way of throwing a copy of that onto an USB or do you have a seperate sub just for that? sarel |
