ERD (Emergency Recovery Disk) Commander? It is a mini XP operating system on a cd. It has aXP style desktop and tools to fix problems with a computer that will not start or you have locked your self out. It also has several tools and various versions for different OS's.
It's also let you boot and back up stuff from your hard disk. No, it isn't good for cleaning crud. Programs and Features (Add Remove Programs) works well for removing installs. (In control panel) MSConfig from a DOS prompt to remove things from boot up. (Click Start, then Run, type CMD, press enter, type MSConfig, click Start Up Tab. Spybot Search and Destroy to remove spyware and crap. CCleaner to clean up left over temprary files and such. |

That's quite possible. It's a great recovery tool. Not easy to find or create either from what I recall hearing. No, it's Windows based recovery, so it won't work on other OS's. In fact, older versions won't work with more current systems even. Partially because new systems use SATA devices. Honestly, I have used both Malwarebytes and Spybot. They are both good, but I normally only use spybot, but each person has his/her own preference. Just like some swear by McAffee for AV, I prefer Symantec (Norton). |

A great tool. Very effective when you get the AVShield, EssentialsShield, and other virus's that mimic your anti-virus programs. Usually they are quick fix's. But at times when i get a computer in my shop that those virus have been on for a while, they really get embedded in the system and shut things down and won't let you run from even safe mode. Thats when i go to ERD. boot from the dsk, and run a system restore. Cleans it up good enough to allow me to run combofix on the next boot. Also contrary to what some people say, "this is not a jab at them", It will run on some versions of win7. Done it many of times. Oh yea. Here is a little tip concerning the above named virus. At time they completely whip out your start menu. Everything is gone. Windows explorer shows nothing. The fix is simply. Open my computer, right click and hit property's. Unckeck the hidden box, and check the read only box. Hope that helps some. |
