I use most of these and would like to add SpinRite for hard drive resurrection. Great tool that can get the client out of a jam.

Add combofix to the list

Double Drivers - Saves time on drivers

Zero Assumption Recovery is one tool that has saved quite a few users from disaster..

 

[rsarceno]

Used most of software on jccrcomputers list plus: Process Explorer, Recuva, Autoruns & cintre

I also used RemoteZilla. So I normally copy the small setup program on the user desktop.

Haven't used SmitfraudFix in years. I guess it's still around. I remember it was similar to Combofix, which I currently do use...

Does anyone here use both? I'm wondering if SFF is still a useful tool for those who already use Combofix...

Combo normally does all and more than smitfraudfix but I still keep it in the repetoire, it has fixed somethings in the past that nothing else has. I use it less and less but for the size it's worth just putting in your "if stuck give it a go" folder.

edit:

Bootvis - i messed around with this a lot in the past, never seen a major difference with it though. Soluto was meant to offer more insight into the boot times as well but as I understand it, you remove it, you lose the benefits.

In all the software above, norton removal tool is the most useful

I've never used SFF. The guys at bleepingcomputer use it alot. I do follow the blog of the person who made SFF, his unlock codes have been a huge time saver in removing some of the scareware that moves shortcuts, blackscreen, ect.

Best of luck
