RecommendationThese are the tools and software that I recommend to run a safe, secure and troubleshoot a Windows environment. The tools below are the tools I used on my computer running windows XP Home and my brothers computer running vista. I now run windows 7 Home Premium. Be aware when you partition the hard disk in Vista and 7 using gparted found in Partedmagic. You will have to use the vista recovery disk to fix an issue with the partiton table. Also please make sure that you back up all your important data before you resize the partition.
- Ccleaner To clean all the rubbish and maintain a healthy registry
- Defraggler to defrag the hard disk
- Comodo Internet Security for anti virus, firewall and secure my system
- AVG is the antivirus tool that I am using with my windows 7
- Spybot search and Destroy to clean and control adware, malware and spyware
- Ping I use to create images on windows XP, vista and 7
- Easeus I am using with windows 7. A very good tool to create a hard disk image.
- Partedmagic I use for editing my partition and troubleshooting other issues that might arise
- Ubcd4win and Ubcd I use to test and also to troubleshoot any problems
- Filehippo to monitor some of my tools
If you need any help with the above, just drop a line and I will do my best to help you.
Kind and warm regards
