Wow, this thread have been a great informative one!!
You should sticky it

 

Personally, I find now-a-days that I can just tell them to get MBAM, and run it. Make it remove everything it finds. It is amazing how many malware type things it handles. Full blown virus/trojan, maybe that requires some personal help.

I support a lot of people. Most of them don't listen. I stopped recommending, and just started enabling SRP of some form and installed Sandboxie. Many of them have bought SBIE, and those that did not, well, they are sandboxed but don't really know it. I simply train them that from now on, all things get downloaded to one place. Depending on thier browser, I set it to not ask, just download to location X.

BartPE or some form thereof is my tool of choise. Couple with about any tool you like, just being able to get at the OS without booting from it is the key for me.

Reformat is the last choise. I have been telling them for the last year or so, if you don't have an external drive large enough to house your critical data, then I am not coming over. This also has alleviated a lot of issues, because now, unlike the local computer shops, I can reformat without losing thier personal data.

Sul.

 

I dont mean to bump up an old thread, but I do find this thread particularly useful, and seeing how new tools have come out, I wanted to see whats new.

So guys, and few girls(?), list away!

 

Actually thanks to this list, i made my own toolchest like a month ago, have disinfected 4 pc's from friends (One had over 600+ malware, 300 were detected by Panda AV and 300 from Emsisoft AM) and i still haven't finished with it

 

I had a call once, my friend was running "low on disk space". I thought it was p*rn over load, but it was in fact a worm that duplicated itself.

UBCD4Win taken from here.


2300 first scan, another 400 on another. I want more tools. lol
