Hello, A friend will bring his PC tonight to my place so I can cleanup and try to speedup his Windows XP until his new one arrives.
I plan to search-n-destroy viruses and spy-ware and try to make his machine more secure by installing Firefox/Thunderbird and maybe tweak IE/Outlook. His windows is bootable and working but I think it might be better to do some of the cleanup (virus checks, defrag) from a Linux environment. (I don't know which FS type he has). >From digging the net so far I found a rave-review of System Rescue CD (http://www.sysresccd.org/) in NewsForge (http://tinyurl.com/9dltu) and the Trinity Rescue Kit (http://trinityhome.org/trk/) is found high in Google search results, but both seem to be ancient (over a year old). Right now I plan to use the System Rescue CD since the NewsForge review describes the situation I expect to tackle tonight. Any pointers/recommendations/warnings are welcome.
