Secured2k's Boot CD
A tool to recover from malicious software and rootkits
Intro
This tool is free, however I do accept optional donations, constructive feedback, and success/failure stories for the time, energy, and knowledge put into creating this tool.
I made this tool for the many users out there that have had trouble with malware and rootkits, especially as the AntiViruses out there can detect the bad files but can not remove them due to the technology used in the malware.
Disclaimer:
This CD was NOT created by McAfee, Microsoft, or any other security software company. This CD was created by a volunteer under the alias, "Secured2k", for the emergency use and repair of Windows PCs running Windows 2000/XP/2003 and Vista/2008/7 with an x86 compatible processor. While I have tried to ensure the safety of this program, the authors of the programs used in this CD are in no way responsible for any damages or losses caused by the use of this tool. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

How to boot using the CD
After the CD/DVD is burned, restart your computer with the CD in the computer. Some computers may start the CD automatically while others may require pressing a key at the boot up sequence. Two of the most common are ESC for HP/Compaq and F12 for Dell. Some systems may require you to enter the BIOS and change the boot order.

Using the programs on the CD
WARNING: Removing system files and registry entries by mistake will break the system!
* Xenon File Manager - The recommended way to manually locate and delete/move/rename files.
*
7-Zip - Used in case you need to create/extract an archive - Can serve as a file manager too
*
Autoruns - Used to show what starts up with your Offline Windows. DO NOT use the Verify Signatures, it will crash the program.
*
Registry Editor - Used in case you need to manually edit the registry.
*
jkDefrag - Automatic and complete defragmentation for performance
*
Command Terminal - For advanced use only
*
Task Manager - For informational use only
*
McAfee VirusScan - This Antivirus will scan and clean your system of known detected malware.
*
ESET Online Scanner - Another AntiVirus program that may detect things McAfee does't.
*
QTWeb - Webkit web browser. Some sites will not work with the default privacy mode on.
*
TeamViewer QS - Remote Support is available if an Internet Connection is available. You need to provide the remote user with the provided Partner ID and PIN.
*
Wireless Configuration - Use this if you started the CD with Wireless support but need to correct the settings entered.
Bonus: QuickScan (for use in Normal Windows)
I've included QuickScan (QS.EXE) in the root folder of the CD. This is a utility for Windows 32/64-bit that will auto-update and run without installing drivers or registry entries into your system. This tool should work even if McAfee is not installed, working, or updated as long as there is a working internet connection.
After downloading the DAT and engine files, the scanner will check and attempt to clean what it finds in Memory and registered files in the system. This scan generally takes less than 5 minutes (2 min for me) and can quickly determine if you have something in your system.

This is an awesome Boot CD compared to others that I have used. It is built on Windows 7format. Very clean and smooth look in a Windows 7 environment. The mouse is able to be used, right click will bring up application tools. You can also save McAfee Virus scan results in txt. to the hard drive for further review or assistance in case you need help.
Wireless option will appear right after you enter the email address of the creator of this application. It will give you the option to manage. Select it and check wireless detection.
Wireless option is to update the Virus scanners especially the liveESET NOD32based application online. The SSID is case sensitive (SSID and ssid and SSid are all different). If the Boot CD can support your wireless device, clicking on "Network Name (SSID):" should bring up a text file showing what networks are available as well as the authentication and encryption methods.
To save yourself the configuration for wireless network if you don't know it just hard line yourself to the internet (Plug your PC into the Modem). It will automatically detect the internet that way; update the scanners and run.
Their is also a tool free number for help in the software. It will connect you with the tech who made the software; Mark, he is very helpful. Please join and post in his forum
