[Update: I have taken the file offline. Two years -- I think he's got it under control by now.]
In my never ending quest to make and keep a thumbdrive for life, I’m adding a small kit of repair tools to it. Found the website here. Looks to be what most any good could need when wanting to apply the paddles to an ailing / failing PC.
Why do this? When I see someone with a failing machine, I want to help. Sometimes that’s no more than helping them get their data off of the machine before it dies. Sometimes, it’s rooting out viruses. Generally, though, I want to help. So, some tools on a thumb drive in my pocket seems like a wise idea, for someone with my inclinations.
And I’ve got some more reading to do, here and here. The Daily Cup of Tech seems like a pretty interesting, geeky site with other things to say on thumb drive usage.

http://www.artlaflamme.com/blog/images/PCRepairSystem.zip is corrupted, neither WinZipor WinRar can open it (downloaded it twice with two different programs)

I scan the file with AVG Free 8 and it says that there’s spyware.
