I'm IT guy, and I was doing all these process you mentioned on the video since 20+ years ago, and to be honest, instead of waiting for these Malware software scanning the PC to come up with something, I just take a backup of the important file and browsers credentials, and fresh installation windows, many maintenance shops use costume made Windows ISO with all needed software pre-installed, Last note from myself, *I use Arch BTW*

@@MrBlaine5 Beside software activation, everything can easily back-up, in most cases you need to copy user profile folder and recopy it again after install, even you didn't want to go into costume windows ISO thing, you can create *silent installer* e.g. MS Office support it and many popular software does, In the past, I even went crazy and use tool to record registry changes during installation process and take a back-up of software folder, and restore both after fresh install and most of the cases it works. There is many methods and way to make thing go faster (in simple IT) job, even MS offers these tools for free to save you time, but people rarely use them.

Overall good video. My one criticism, warn users about cookies. Malwarebytes and others will want to remove all the cookies it finds. For some users, this can really mess up their browsing especially if they don't realize what deleting all their cookies involves. Deleting them CAN be good, but they need to be aware of the effect, as it will be very visible to them as soon as they try and browse anywhere and some users will wonder what is wrong, think something is broken, etc.

Originally these software companies (Windows, Norton Anti Virus, Malwarebytes etc.) sold hard copies (floppy discs CD, DVD) of their products giving the user free updates. They changed all of that to downloading, and increased pricing for additional levels of protection which eventually ended with 12 monthly payments. Today some offer yearly plans which will cost you a pretty penny.

If you have a mortgage, pay rent, and have children (most of us do) consider all of the monthly costs included in those alone then add the other necessities (water, electric, or gas, or both, plus auto, car, etc.) it's a huge chunk of change out of pocket every single month. Then add music, movies etc. Many of us are beginning to cut out cable tv, for internet services which are now increasing their prices, but they're also throwing advertising (that we all hate) into the mix just to charge us more to eliminate it all. Sooner or later all of these aforementioned companies will have to change how they operate to stay in business. It all just costs too much money for many people.

Scott, your videos are always so helpful, thank you. A question about the Windows ISO file. If there comes a day when we wish to use it when Windows 10 is no longer available from Microsoft, how does this ISO version of Windows 10 get updated? It will not be the latest version, and when Microsoft pulls the plug on it, how long will they support at least the last update of the version? Will they keep the update procedure on their site even though Windows 10 is no longer supported? Also, do they ever update the ISO itself, or do they rely solely on their site to update it once it is installed?

October 14, 2025, Windows 10 will no longer be supported by Microsoft. No new updates, security patches. Just upgrade to Windows 11. I brought a retail DVD Windows 7 Ultimate, over 10 years ago...created a new Microsoft account. That has been upgraded to windows 8.1 for a few months, back to 7, then upgraded to 10 (which I loved) and again to 11. Multiple different hardware configs through the years and still on the same account.

So they walked us through everything and ran the scan...Norton installed the..can't recall if it was a virus or malware, but it was on their installation disk! 😮 I refuse to use any of their products anymore.

Now the hard drive on my Desktop PC with my OS it is on an SSD and I also have another SSD in this PC + a couple of HDD`s, but will Tron cause any damage to my SSD`s, as I know you shouldnt try to defrag an SSD, or is Tron smart enough that when you run it, it skips defragging the SSD`s and just does the HDD`s? Or can yo choose to manually defrag HDD`s on selection? Cheers Scott and thank you once again.

RogueKiller question please.... When I close RogueKiller with its window's close button, the RK icon remains in the system tray. From that icon of course I can right click and exit it completely, or reopen it. Alternatively I can completely exit it by clicking the "exit door" button in the RK main screen. But is there any way to completely exit the program by ONLY clicking its window's close button? If not, I guess that's ok but I don't understand the state that the program is in after hitting the window close button (i.e., while the RK window is closed but the icon is still in the system tray). I'm using the free version so it's definitely not doing any real-time protection. Is it doing anything at all? If not, why is the system tray icon still there? Similar behaviour with MalwareBytes, except to exit completely from the system tray icon, it triggers UAC. Plus MWB does not have an "exit door" button like RK does, AFAIK. This is not really important to me but I'm trying to setup a new PC for non-savvy user and trying to simplify usage as much as possible.

All I'm getting when I try running Tron is the command window asking me over and over again if I want to replace one individual file with another one. The options are yes, no, skip, or quit. It goes on and on. This is after extracting the files. I cannot get this thing to run as an administrator. I tried to say no, don't replace a couple of times, then did the same thing with saying yes, to get to the part where the programs run. Nothing. Help! Also, Lenovo Service Bridge won't stay open on my laptop. It tries to open then auto-closes. This is after I downloaded and ran the other programs you recommended last night. My touchpad quit working and now I can't get a hardware scan from my manufacturer. What's going on???

Is this for windows 10 or 11? There's not a "NEW" if I double on C Drive on windows 11

Both Windows 10 and 11...Thank Microsoft for that. You have to select "show more options" to see the old context menu.

what is the point of using Tron "who-knows-what-is-in-that-script-nuclear-option" if you can reinstall windows?
@AskYourComputerGuy
@AskYourComputerGuy 3 күн бұрын
Fair question! Say for example you have proprietary software that you no longer have the installation media for. Or you haven't backed up your files, cloned your drive etc. yes, reinstalling windows is quicker and easier, but some people have 10+ years of custom configurations and software that they can’t get back. Every situation is different.

@@AskYourComputerGuy in this case I would spend first 30% of the video to tell those folks they need to create snapshots of theirs system drive NOW, before they run nuclear option and risk to lose that unique proprietary software. Every situation is different but backup always come first, especially when lamers will start running multiple cleanup tools one after another

Thanks Scott, from another old geezer in UK. Just one question, when running Tron will it defrag my SSD automatically, so do you have to disable Defrag before running it?

It will not defrag an SSD - they should never be defragmented

MalwareBytes and most AV programs will work on mobile devices. The rest of them are Windows programs, I guess there was not enough incentive to port them to mobile devices 🤷‍♂️

I have just run Hitman Pro. It created a restore point and now when I go to view my restore points I get this Error 0x80070005. It looks like it has messed up my computer. I also restarted my computer did not start Windows. A black screen appeared and there was a messege about Hitman Pro. I hit the entre key and luckily windows started. I do not think I will be this software again. Can you tell me how to repair my computer so I can create a restore point please?

Hitman Pro didn't break anything. That error is Windows permissions error. Here's the resolution: www.easeus.com/resource/error-code-0x80070005.html

@@AskYourComputerGuy I have just turned my computer on and it is not functioning properly at all. I have an SSD drive and it was extremely fast before but now I am having an issue with it.

You say that these files are free- maybe to download. I have used Malwarebytes, they let you run it a few times then slam you for money. So when you say free, is this just for experimenting? Do any of these stay free?

Agree. Malwarebytes is a trial and expires in around 30 days. Will not run afterward.
