BHT v2.60

See the old v2.5 thread for more info: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthrea...hreadid=1799370

What is it?

It is a tools compilation for all computer users. It has various tools (most of which can be outlined in the old thread), as well as a bunch of new tools.

Why do I want it?

If you've ever had computer problems of any sort, or think your system is experiencing problems, or are just curious, BHT can serve you both meat and potatoes - There's tools for every aspect of computer problems and diagnostics.

Wait, what?

BHT will help you out in dire times of need. It is a computer toolkit.

Where can I download it?

From my personal webspace: http://bht.jimmsta.com/rel/BHT2.60.rar

From MajorGeeks: http://www.majorgeeks.com/BHT_d4855.html

What's NOT included?

Any Sysinternals tools, by default. If you want them, you'll have to run a batch file script located in the 'AUP/get_sysints/' directory, which will download a personal copy of their tools and auto-install them, as well as replace the html pages with updated pages that contain links to the applications.

What about BHT EXTENDED?

Extended v1.1 will work fine, with a patch, which is available here: http://bht.jimmsta.com/rel/BHT_Extended_v1.2patch.zip (172KB) - extract this into your Extended directory, and follow the updated instructions.

BHT Extended v1.1 can still be downloaded here: http://newsite.technicianx.com/BHT/Extended_v1.1.exe

So... I don't see x on the list of programs...

If you don't see a program on the list that you rely heavily on, post it here. I'll try my best and include it in the next release, just for you.

Will this help with spyware removal?

Yes. All common tools that everyone recommends are included, as well as several small specialized utilities for removing certain infections.

Will this help with virus removal?

Yes. I've included several virus removal utilites, as well as free antivirus installers.

Are there any apps in the compilation?

Yes, there's many applications, including the latest version of Firefox, and Java.
