Run RescueME.bat after extracting the contents.

RescueME is a bat file that gives the user options to secure there PC, remove virus's and recover data. I hope this will help most user's rectify problems themselves with minimum fuss.

The main menu options are as follows:

Scan for Virus's (Use AntiVir, McAfee Virus Scan + Stinger, Trend Micro Sysclean, Sophos Sav32Cli)
Install AntiVirus Sofware (AntiVir, Avast, AVG) - ClamWin may be included at later date)
Install Firewall (Zone Alarm, Sygate, Kerio, SecurePoint, Softperfect, Filescab)
Install Spyware Removers (Spybot, Adaware)
Recover Deleted Files (Restoration)
Run HijackThis

All the user needs to do is follow the on screen prompts until any of the GUI's appear.

The only software included is Restoration for file recovery, download and unzip are just used by the bat file, all other software must be downloaded by the user, all the downloads are freeware (mostly limited to Home Use).

I will probably add the ability to install file recovery software at later date, and possible dirms and any other suggestions people make.

It's a 350kb download which means it's ultra portable will fit on a floppy, although you can't run it from there as it would need copying to the hdd. You can run it from a usb flash drive providing you had sufficient room to extract the need files (probably min drive size of about 256mb, maybe as low as 128mb, if you had all the software stored).

As far as I'm aware the bat file should run on Win95, 98, ME, NT, 2K, XP but I've not tested it, whether the software will install on the older OS I don't know.

Some of the download links are likely to change which means at some point they will need updating, keep your eyes peeled for updated versions of RescueME.

V1.21 is now released, I think I've now got all the teething problems out of the script and everything should work (famous last words )

I've tested all the download links and they all work, I changed a few from the last release that seemed to have a problem.

[stidyup]

I've just released V1.3

A2
SpywareGuard
SpywareBlaster

Use of:
CWSShredder
KillBox
Utility to remove CWS varients which stop CWSShredder, Spybot, Adaware running
FreeUndelete.

File size has increased now to 572kb.

Just updated RescueME to V1.31

Added the ability to install Ewido Security Suite.

[stidyup]

I've just update RescueME to V1.32

Added Dirms defragmentor to the options, this is included so doesn't need to be downloaded.

[stidyup]

RescueME has been updated to V1.33

The only change is that now you can select any of the dirms options plus any drive to defrag.

[stidyup]

RescueME has been updated several times since my last post.

Updated the AVG7 download link
Added Roadkil's diskimage
Added Power defragmentor
Corrected a error in the dirms script
updated the dirms.bat

[stidyup]

Added
DefragNT
Buzzsaw
RightMark Memory Analyser

Thanks for the great tool.

Could you please change the "RescueME98.bat"
At the end you mention "end" after ":end"
This is not needed and gives an error.
There's only need for ":end"

The name "RESCUEME98.BAT" is longer than 8-3 character's.
Perhaps "RESCUE98.BAT" is better

Thanks for the info

I've removed the end from the end

Plus I've changed the name to Rescue98.bat as requested.

It has now been uploaded to the 3 download locations.

@stidyup

I don't know if it is a problem in win98 or also in the other version, but with the menu of mcafee, the files of mcafee are deleted before the execution of the scangui.exe, meaning scangui.exe opens, but before you can scan, the files to use are deleted.

If you change the line "scangui.exe" into "start /wait scangui.exe", the files are deleted after you close scangui.exe.

I haven't tested, but i think it's the same problem with "avwin.exe"

Hi

I've only been able to test on WinXP PC's that have internet access, I know the rescueme.bat would run on 98 which is why I did a version that used choice.exe

I've just tested out both bat files and they work fine on XP.

I've edited the rescue98.bat and added start /wait please redownload the file and let me know if it's sorted.

Thanks.

@stidyup

Looks good

RescueME has just been updated with the new ftp locations for sysclean, as mentioned elsewhere the original site has either been moved or overloaded.

[stidyup]

Rescue98.bat has been updated to include F-prot for dos. I don't think this will run successfully on a NT based system.
