Looking for Tips

[steen]

Ive been doing side work for about a year now and was curious as to see if anyone had any tips as to the approach im doing. Most the time is virus that i deal with which i start with a system process ending program that i scored from tech services at work and pretty much throw malwarebytes on the infected computer, set it up with Microsoft Security Essentials and do a clean up with PC Decrapifier. But should there be more that i should be doing as far as clean up goes?
What programs would you guys recommend to using?
Is there a Live Linux CD that includes antivirus tools that i could just boot and go without having to even install anything?

And finally, What does it really mean to optimize a system and what steps would one take to do so?

sorry if this isnt the correct thread for these questions but i felt it was the best spot
Thanks for any help, im just trying to get tips to better my ability to do the services im charging for!

I'm using Avira AntiVir Rescue System which is an bootable ISO with antivirus, just boot from it and clean the system. It is actually some Linux based. It has also different functions like browsing drive and so on.
