I was just wondering if there are any programs I can run from a USB Flash Drive that can scan and fix stuff on the PC I use at work.
The Antivirus is up-to-date (only after I rang our IT dept and told them it was two years since the last definition update and that I was locked out of updating myself) but I'm sure there is adware or something going on as I've been getting wierd pop-ups. I had been running Firefox from my flash-drive but that screwed up after an update and I'm still trying to get it working again. I may look for an open-source browser specially designed to work from a removable drive.
At home I use Ad-Aware, CCleaner, Windows Cleanup! and a couple of others all the time but due to access privileges I can't install them onto this PC.
Just wondering if anyone else has these problems and has found an easy way to fix stuff without getting in touch with IT as that would doubtless be a waste of their and my time.
Cheers.
