IT Portable Flashdrive

[Krovos]

I've started doing some around the city IT repair work on infected computers. Something I've realized would be really useful is to prepare a flash drive pre-loaded with Avast, MalwareBytes, and Ccleaner. Is there any efficient way for me to do this?

You can install CCleaner to your flashdrive, but the others you cannot. You just need to keep the install files on it. Me personally, I just keep all the cleaners I use on my flashdrive and copy them onto the infected computer.

Try the website i have linked below, It is a site dedicated to non install portable programs that can be run from any portable drive or desktop screen without actually installing on the computer.

Most anti-virus programs also have an emergency rescue version that you can install on a usb drive in the event you have a crippled system.

Agree with Voyagerfan.

I would also recommend putting Tdsskiller and AdwCleaner on your flash drive.

Tdsskiller - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/tdsskiller/dl/4/

AdwCleaner - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/dl/125/

Tdsskiller will remove rootkits/bootkits and adwcleaner will remove adware from the web browsers.

Ultimate boot cd on another drive is great to have as well

How does TDSSKiller compare next to MalwareBytes and SpyBot?

SpyBot is junk. TDSSKiller is just a small app that does a quick scan for rootkits and bootkits, so use it along with MalwareBytes.
