Windows Repair AIO - possible two editions????
Ztruker:
Several of the sites I work at will not allow the use of WR-AIO outside of their respective malware areas because of the inclusion of ComboFix and TDSS Rootkit Remover. Both are considered too dangerous for people to use without knowledgeable supervision and I have to agree with them as I've seen several threads where unsupervised use has made a computer inoperable and had to be reinstalled. I wish I had links to those threads but I don't.
Anyway, any chance there can be two versions? One with those programs on Step 1 and one without? If I could tell people to download the one without then I would be allowed to provided a nice canned speech all can use on those sites for WR-AIO.
Thanks

I dont want to do 2 version because then I have to do twice the work for every update.
So instead why don't I just change that step? But the question is how do I change it? Links to a page instead with info?
The goal of that step is for users to understand that if the system is infected that running the repairs wont help or might make things worse. So my idea was to give them some links to good programs in case they dont know what to run.
I am all for changing it as long as the end goal is still there :wink:

Here there is a comprehensive list of the best free anti-malware scanners:

In particular, I'd recommend the use of some portable antivirus/antimalware like Microsoft Safety Scanner and Superantispyware.
Shane:
Nice link, but there is a down fall.
The list is so big imagine a user not sure what to do sees a big list and has no clue what to run. Thats why I had those few in there to begin with.
I want the normal user, who doesn't really know much about scanning for infections to run the right tools to get them cleaned up, if they are even infected.
I really like tdsskiller since it is one of the few tools to find that dang rootkit. I never had any trouble with it so I am surprised others have. Combofix I can understand, it is on total auto and you have no control.
There are so many links I could give the user, some tools find things that others dont. I am not sure what is best to have there, if anything.

In this case, there is a quick selection link of rootkit scanners here:
