Great apps to handle emergency recoveries on your computer
Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier
Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier does one thing and it does it well: It copies data from broken drives. And it's good at it. But UC isn't just for getting data off broken drives. You can also use it as a daily backup (using the Batch Mode function).
BlueScreenView
There is one catch here. I am a fan of the CCleaner tool. By default, CCleaner is set up to remove all those memory dump files. So if you use CCleaner, be sure you uncheck the option to delete those files. Otherwise, a tool like BlueScreenView will be of no useBlueScreenView
When Windows blue screens, it spits out a core dump that contains a lot of valuable information. BlueScreenView scans the dump files and displays information about the BSOD crashes in table format, making troubleshooting much easier.
PuTTY
Being able to secure shell into a remote machine at all times is invaluable. The use of the simple RDP protocol is fine for some, but it's not nearly as secure as it should be. If you want your remote logins to be secure, add a little ssh goodness to your toolkit. PuTTY gives you just that.
KNOPPIX
KNOPPIX is a live Linux distribution that can fit on a flash drive. With it, you can boot into a full-blown Linux distribution that contains many helpful tools.
ComboFix
ComboFix is the Mac Daddy of virus and malware removal tool. After a successful run of ComboFix, you should have cleaned (if applicable) malware, rootkits, Trojans, worms, and viruses.
