Need Help Starting A Computer Repair Service

CompuTamer · 03-27-11, 02:46 PM

Okay, up until now, my main method of fixing completely foobared computers is to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Windows. Most people wouldn't like that though if they were paying, so i'm currently building my suite of software to use for trying to remove viruses malware and spyware without reinstalling the OS.

Right now I have MSE, AVG, MBAM, and then a few hardware trubleshooting programs (Core Temp, Real Temp, a few programs for reading HDD smart info, a battery info reader, etc). Can anything think of anything else that needs to go onto this nice flash drive?

I've also got every Edition of Windows Vista and Windows 7 on it in case i DO have to wipe the computer, i can just use the OEM key that's on the computer for activation.

I might suggest Advanced systemcare and Superantispyware.

A combo of those two programs plus a little manual removal have allowed me to deal with all of the viruses I have ever procured. Except for one. Zlob....I could never get rid of that one. Had to do a full HD wipe.

To get rid of zlob you have to use hijack this to get its downloader. Then sas can clean it out.
