wmw999 2,175 #1 July 18, 2014 OK, a year or two ago I created a bootable thumb drive with malwarebytes on it; it was a piece of cake (I'm only formerly tech-savvy, and I'm quite instruction-impaired). But now I can't find the instructions, and I need a new thumb drive; the old one is too old, and I have a W7 PC that needs some help. I'm hoping it's that. The Malwarebytes web page doesn't have any (or I haven't found them -- did I mention I was instruction-impaired?). I haven't found ones that are as good in looking around. So now I'm asking my local tech support crew Anyone got a good pointer? Thanks Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theonlyski 3 #2 July 18, 2014 I've just gotten to the point that I keep all of my data on a server that I built (and pretty much any old PC could do it with a couple of hard drives) so that if/when a computer gets hosed, I just reload the whole OS. Saves me time and frustration in the end and I know that I've got a fresh install, not some lingering effects that take way too much time and energy to fix. ETA: this is probably what you wanted http://www.thecomputermanual.com/malwarebytes-usb-boot/ I'd be careful to follow the instructions on that though, using diskpart in admin mode on windows gives you the possibility of really hosing up a functioning computer. You've been warned.
