I want to have enough stuff on hand in my van that I don’t need to drive down to Frys when a customer needs a part. I will be mostly doing home and small business stuff.

I figure I will get the we got this computer and need to get on the internet, get wireless, etcetera.
I saw a million years ago in a Maximum PC what they felt a tech should have with them. But I can’t find it.
I don’t have a lot of money, but want to be prepared. Any ideas of software stuff I might need? Virus/Spyware softeware. Diagnostic stuff? I figure a USB/Firewire external drive for backups and transfer. USB cables, firewire cables, ethernet cables, cable tester, USB mouse and keyboard, PS2 mouse and keyboard. Canned air, blah, blah. Any other ideas?
Do you guys have them sign a waiver before working on their computer, in case there is data loss, or the computer gets fried?
I worked in a box store before this so I always had access to stuff.

About malware, registry, and internet?

September 7, 2009

I have a little question about malware, registry, and internet. By the way I’m using Vista, but if u give suggestion for xp too, it would be great. ^^

1. How can I lock my registry so that programs (especially malwares) cannot write a value there without my permission?

2. If I backed up my clean registry, and restore it when my computer infected by a malware, can it render the malware unfunctionable?

3. Which key inside the registry that mostly infected by malware?

4. How can a malware starts up automaticly other than write a value to "HKLM/…/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run"?

5. If I use the limited account, does it prevent the malware to write the value into the registry? How?

6. Can I infected by malware by just browsing the internet? How can I prevent it?

7. I’ve heard that a malware is infecting through media player classic and video codec. is it true? How can i prevent it?

Thank you so much. I’m sorry for my messy english. LOL.
For DAVID:

5. Why a malware able to infect my computer then? I haven’t recieved any notification about my registry. Is it possible that a virus doesn’t write or modify a value on a registry?

6. If I am not download anything, how the malware infect me? (this is the part i have been very curious since a long long time ago. LOL)

7. Is antivirus that reliable? Why mine never works? It’s always bypassed.

btw i used AVG Free and MCAFEE Comercial. Is kaspersky FREE good? What’s the diffrence between the comercial one?

Once again, thank you so much. ^^
