Ramblings of an old Doc

 

This is it. The ultimate portable toolkit for those unfortunate enough to have family members with computers and a telephone.

gHacks has put together a competent review of this tool kit here: http://www.ghacks.net/2014/08/03/download-large-files/?_m=3n%2e0038%2e1325%2ehj0ao01hy5%2e1dg5

"GEGeek Tech Toolkit is a free collection of more than 300 portable freeware tools that serve a similar purpose. The collection has a size of 1.6 Gigabyte compressed and about 3 Gigabyte uncompressed on the system." - gHacks

The contents are organized into folders such as “Malware Removal”, “Drivers”, “Backups”, “AV uninstallers”…and more which really help you get to the right tools quickly. Also, there’s a small launcher loadable to the system tray, allowing individual program launching without having to go a file explorer to do that. More…there’s even a program to update the tools in the collection…and that’s sweet.

You can download it and find explanations of how to launch it here: http://gegeek.com/documents/85BB69B2F05486B9332CEA18B8D6E4BE690ADA38.html

 

 

An example of what’s in just one folder:

If this were all, it would be a fantastic time and effort saver: Imagine collecting, downloading, compressing, and organizing all these tools but it isn’t.

There’s a “Documents” folder and this hundreds of documents on how to fix various errors, remove and repair various viruses and malware…step by step (in case there’s no internet access)…so this is well thought out, as well.

You can even add your own tools to ‘Ketarin’ as well, so the program will update even those tools automatically.

Once again I find myself having to thank Martin Brinkmann for this…gHacks.net really is a super worthwhile stop on the internet.

Also: If you have problems downloading this fantastic set of tools, take a look at the gHacks article here: http://www.ghacks.net/2014/08/03/download-large-files/?_m=3n%2e0038%2e1325%2ehj0ao01hy5%2e1dg5 since you might need a ‘downloader’ program for this, depending on your connection speed.

All the source links are in the article.

Oddly, the site says these tools decompress to 2.82 GB, it only extracted to 1.40 GB for me. I may have missed something?

 

 

Yes, I missed that I need to update using Ketarin. Reading is not a redneck's forte.

Nice find Doc.

Jim, don't feel bad about that. The page (at least in that area) isn't laid out at all well.

 

Which reminds me:

Folks, the guy's doing a mammoth job.

It'd be a nice gesture to donate to him...I'd hate to see people like him disappear from the web.

Awesome set of tools, thanks, Doc. I'm going to need a bigger toolbox.
