I haven't updated my tech drive in quite some time and was wondering what programs you guys like to use & maybe I can find something new to add on mine.

 

My main USB drive consists of an AIO Windows 7 ISO (all versions & 32/64) bit and holds my programs. 

 

The basics are things like Combofix, Malwarebytes, Misc rootkit/malware scanners, D7, Norton/McAfee uninstallers, key finders, cpuz/speccy stuff, double driver, ccleaner, etc.

I keep a copy of Memtest on one, and Kaspersky Rescue Disk. I also keep a userkey.psw on it, but I don't think I've ever actually used it. Used to keep a password cracker too.

I have WinDirStat to see whats taking up space on peoples drives. Also a temperature monitoring program might help.
