The Hirens Boot CD is the ultimate in technicians tools. We’ve provided a link for version 13 here which isn’t the latest version but is really all you need to carry out any of the tasks that we teach you on this website. This is the version that we have used but of course feel free to download the latest version yourself from the official Hirens website.
Hirens Boot CD is so great that we could not do it justice to list the vast array of software and possibilities that it has. Instead we will show you through several tutorials how to use the CD. RECOMMENDED!!
D7 by FoolishIT is absolutely brilliant for cleaning up viruses and malware. It has built in fully and semi automated virus removal processes and also includes tools that allow you counter the effects that a virus payload may have imposed upon your computer even after it has been completely removed. This is definitely a RECOMMENDED bit of software by the TekMoz team.

Portable Apps can be ran from any device such as a portable hard drive or USB stick. The application will run in it’s own space and not require a full installation in the same way that standard applications do. This makes portable apps very useful when troubleshooting computer problems.
