here, we have a windows xp bootable cd with ad-aware, spybot search &
destroy, microsoft's anti spyware program, registry first aid (the free
version is crippled), avg free, hijack this, startup control panel, ms
baseline security analyzer, winsockxpfix.exe (works on 9x too), and
powertoys for windows xp (aka tweakui). additionally, we have a
supplementary disk with service pack 2, taskman.exe (some viruses
destroy this program), tasklist.exe (xp home doesnt have it), nslookup
(windows 9x doesnt have it), userinit.exe (some viruses destroy this
program), the installers for ie 5.5, ie 6.0, ie 6 sp1, windows script
(viruses corrupt all of them) and various miscellaneous tools for
testing, debgging, optimizing, expanding archives, and benchmarking
(most is free, some isn't).

none that i know of, but 99% of all questions can be answered by
searching google. the remaining 1% we deal with by reinstalling.
