Ramblings of an old Doc
and, may you never need them.

The first is Windows Repair Toolbox v3.0.2.5, which you can find here:

https://www.oldergeeks.com/downloads/file.php?id=1599

It works for Windows XP through W10. It contains tens of utilities for the repair of just about any problem, and is an essential for anyone having to repair family computers. Check out its contents at the link, and you'll see why I didn't list the utilities included.

The second is a rather new one, for the removal of remnants of antiviral programs which might be slowing your computer down. You might not even know they're on your machine, left from older subscriptions/installations.

It has the 29 most common antivirus-removal tools built into one utility. Here's the list:

  • Adaware
  • Avast
  • AVG
  • Avira
  • BigFix
  • Bitdefender
  • Comodo
  • Dr.Web
  • Emsisoft
  • eScan
  • ESET
  • F-Secure
  • G DATA
  • K7 Computing
  • Kaspersky
  • Malwarebytes
  • Max Secure
  • McAfee
  • Microsoft Security Essentials
  • Norton
  • Panda
  • Symantec Endpoint Protection
  • Trend Micro
  • Total Defense
  • TrustPort
  • VIPRE
  • Webroot
  • WinPatrol
  • ZoneAlarm

Now here's the cool part! You don't need to know which antivirus apps were previously installed — Antivirus Removal Tool (ART) will find them for you." - Deanna McElveen

Thanks for this Doc! I had vestiges of McAfee on this computer! Thought I had removed when I got it but no there were still bits of it there! All gone now!
