ichase Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 Liz, Thanks for the tip, may need to add that little program to my "Computer Toolz" flashdrive. Am sure it won't be long before they update the program to cover any 2012 installs. Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 I know many people have been using flash drives to clean up computers... But may I remind folks about one basic fact of malware ... many can infect flash drives and until you get into it, you may not even know fully what you are dealing with. Might I suggest, as I have many times, using a CDR instead. These are cheap these days and will keep all computers safe including ones that you use it on after the flash drive gets infected by some piece of malware... Quote
striker Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 yep, or a nicely 'locked' sdhc card. That works too. (and of course don't forget to take the reader for it with you) There happened to be some lockable flash drives earlier: never had or saw one myself, but I was told so. Quote

Corrine Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Add me to the list preferring MSE in combination with the Windows Vista or Windows 7 firewall. Just as with registry cleaners, I've seen problems with Revo, so use it with caution. If AppRemover doesn't include the software, check the list at Uninstallers, which also includes links for other programs, drivers, etc. The list is maintained by Fred de Vries, one of the developers of JavaRa (for cleaning up Java left-overs). As to Comodo, well, as the saying goes, "If you can't say something nice..." Quote
jcgriff2 Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 For info, the manual for your Toshiba NB505-N508GN - http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/su...500_10Nov18.pdf Please refer to page 58 and create a USB recovery stick (since there is no DVD drive) in the event that you need to reinstall Windows 7 in the future. I agree - MSE - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows...rity-essentials If not already done, I would suggest that you use removal tools for both AVG and COMODO, if available - http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN146 Regards. . . jcgriff2 ` Quote
