Spyware Detection & Removal Tools

• Spybot Search & Destroy: Spybot is a great spyware removal tool that we have had a lot of success using. It can be configured for automatic scans, removal of anything found, updating and immunizing without any user interaction and it does a great job recording everything to a simple to read log file.

• ATF Cleaner: Great utility for quickly deleting all temp files and folders. Good idea before and after cleaning a virus or unwanted programs from your computer to be sure nothing unpacks later and re-installs it's self.

• Secure Desktop and UAC: This registry edit disables Secure Desktop and UAC in Vista and Windows 7. It can be helpful when trying to run unattended removal scripts for spyware or malware. After importing in to the registry a reboot is required.

 

Miscellaneous Tools

• Numeric Lock Help for Windows Clients: Automatically turns your Num Locks on before the login screen.
• Atlanta IT Service Disk Care Script: After installing the Disk Care Script on a Windows XP computer, click Start, Run and type "tasks" then choose OK when prompted. Next, you should see "DiskCareAITS" double-click it and set a password. If your machine is left on overnight it will run about once a month. If not you may launch manually, by clicking Start, Programs, Accessories and "CheckYourDisk". Allow this process to run for and hour or two. When it is finished the computer will be at the login screen to login to Windows. Also works with Windows Vista and Windows 7.
