Hey all,

I am wanting to know of any software i should keep on a flash in case my security is breached on my PC (due to Malware, Adware, etc...), i do have some but i feel your suggestions would be valuable to me, the software could also include optimization software, cleaners, portable antiviruses, pc repair, etc... :)

Emsisoft Emergency Kit (EEK - portable) : Emsisoft Free Emergency Kit: Portable malware scanner | Free removal of Viruses, Bots, Spyware, Keyloggers and Trojans

Ultra Virus Killer (UVK - portable) : UVK - Ultra Virus Killer

UVK is great for repairing a broken OS automatically and can run many other tools such as AdwCleaner right from the program itself. Emsisoft like any other scanner, will make a dent in a heavily infected system but nothing is perfect in clean up. If your system is lightly/heavily infected, EEK should get you going to somewhat normal or completely normal operation.

I would run EEK (terminating running malware) and UVK (to repair damage to network and use other tools that it contains to further clean the system).

In my honest opinion, you should reinstall your OS or restore a backup of your OS when you have a breach. This is the only sure fire way to get rid of all infections. Personally I don't feel safe with simply "disinfecting" the OS. I'd rather wipe it out completely to ensure no problems are there and some simply aren't possible to fix without a format/reinstall. I also feel that an infected system that are disinfected might be weakened and allow for further infections easily. After all some threats are persistent.
