Rustys Portable PC Maintenance & Spyware Removal Thumbdrive Util

Rusty's Utilz v2.2 rel. 08/19/2007 A GUI for a compilation of utilities that I used to use on a daily basis when I did PC repair. I still use it on a regular basis to bail out friends PC's. 297MB ISO image file. 150MB of that is from now including three different Anti-Virus programs, 4 different Firewall programs and the added Internet & System programs.Burn to CD or use Daemon Tools or IsoBuster to extract the files from the image and place on your thumbdrive. The kmfdmk.ico icon file can be replaced with the icon file of your choice however you'll have to either rename your icon file to kmfdmk.ico or edit the autorun.inf file to reflect the new name.

Usually if you're looking you'll see them come up as Hacktool.Passreminders. They're NOT viruses, or malicious. You might want to keep the ISO backed up in case your AV programs delete some of the necessary files/programs. Look for more updates in the future. I hope to keep this updated monthly.

If you're looking for something that will fit on a 256MB thumbdrive then go check out the last revision which was half this size. http://thepiratebay.se/tor/3757445/ It just doesn't include some of the extra AV, Firewall, and Internet programs.

BTW. In case it's not absolutely clear the Thumbdrive Utilities Suite that I have here can be loaded by clicking on the AutoPlay.exe file. If you burn the Utilities to a CD then the Utilities will AutoPlay upon CD Insertion into the computer. Unfortunately a registry hack/modification is required to get AutoPlay to work with removable media such as Flash Drives.

FYI: (this will be added in the next release's info)
AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 w/ updates from 8-23-07 reports 3 issues with my Utilities:
Adware.Hotbar - HotbarUninst.exe - This is LEGIT as it's the Hotbar UNinstaller
Adware.PurityScan - oi_uninstaller.exe - This is LEGIT as it's the Outer Info spyware UNinstaller
Not-A-Virus.PSWTool.Win32.NetScaPass.a - netscapass.exe - This is LEGIT as it's a Netscape Password Recovery tool

Thank you for this! I'm still D/L'ing, but when I'm finished and if this works..you're awesome bro!! Thax again!

## Known bug ##
If you try to run CCleaner from the USB/CD it will give you an "Error 0" message.
Next revision will fully implement the portable version of CCleaner.

Thanks Rusty. works great. I guess u didnt have time for a monthly update.
How can we update the antivirus defintions outselves?

kmfdmk (2009-08-24)

You can update the definitions yourselves by browsing the directories that are inside the image. Simply remove the old updates and download the newer ones into their places.
Also you can update the program versions, however without re-coding your local version, you would have to ensure that you kept the EXACT SAME filenames as the originals.
That would mean changing new version of Firefox 3.5.2, to actaully say 3.0 or whatever it is.
The program I used to make this is technically not supposed to be re-distributed, (Violating the EULA), however it was a simple CD Executable. You can search for CD Auto-Runs.
Also, on computers with AutoRun disabled (a lot nowadays) you'll have to manually run this (if from a CD).
With the advent of Flash Drives getting more and more popular (and larger) it's a lot easier to just keep this and update it on a Flash Drive.
