I work for a small company (8 people total) that provides IT services for local companies that aren't large enough for a full time IT department and all of the techs agree that Hirens Boot CD is worth it's weight in gold. Its got a TON of tools that have saved us hours of work in getting machines back on their feet. I don think there's been a week that's gone by that one of us didn't use Hirens to get a customer's system back up and running.

You can boot to the CD and use a ton of tools, or throw it in while you're in Windows and get access to another fabulous suite of tools.

You do realize that Hirens is not legal dont you?

I am not saying it shouldnt be legal because it should. I am not even saying it hasnt saved my butt because maybe it has. I just suggest being careful posting about it on TechRepublic. Hirens is and should be a "secret weapon"

The reason it is "worth its weight in gold" is because it contains many unlicensed "warez" versions of copyrighted applications. If you use this in a business setting you and your company can be sued.

Worse case scenario:
You get fired and dragged to court!

I recommend you use Hiren's (legal) bootcd application with freeware and your own licenced apps but not the unlicensed apps that many people are distributing with it.

4-18-12 downloaded,created disk, tried to test - trojan virus -
HBCDCustomizer.exe\HBCDCustomizer.EXE\0000afo.exe

This likely refers to one of the many included freeware items - recommend not using
