Solve : BartPE Live USB Spons Anti-Virus? |
|
Answer» The full title is: “This technology was designed for those whose computer have been sabotaged by invasive malware to the point of brokenness. It these ALLOWED targeted users to reenter their device and perform virus clean out in the hope of restoring the device's functionality. Moderator: This was published a few days ago. It is news for me and maybe others.BartPE has been around for over 10 years. If it hasn't "revolutionised" anti virus technology in all that time, why should it do so now? That article is by idCloak, who sell VPN services and cloud storage. I am not doing SPAM. The point is the they claim it is legal to use Bert's PE for the stated purpose. That has been controversial. This is. for me, the fist time I read a businessman who would have a possible conflict of interest claim it is legal for a commercial company to use Bert's PE in a package. The article focus is on Windows 7, which is not ten years old. And recent virkuks and malware are getting to be more cyber chocholistic. Therefore, it would be alright for a member of CH to recommend Bert's PE to help virus victims. Actually you are... Think about it...Quote from: Geek-9pm on October 04, 2013, 02:58:41 PM The article focus is on Windows 7, which is not ten years old. It's not "Windows 7", it seems... Quote from: the article Although it is sometimes called BartPE Windows 7 USB, the freeware actually creates a Windows XP / Server 2003 environment for use with Windows 7 system. The name Bart PE Windows 7 is therefore a little misleading. Nonetheless, even in its XP form, BartPE USB is plenty capable of safeguarding the use of a number of internet programs, including a Firefox browser, and on a 32 or 64bit computer. A range of BartPE plugins allow a USER to insert programs (like Firefox) into the Live USB environment. and, oh dear! There's a little problem... Quote from: the article Windows 7 Live USB will only offer computer anti virus protection to users that do not abide by the Windows EULA, which I imagine reduces their population significantly. I wonder if the next bit is meant to be a joke? Quote from: the article But if BartPE Windows 7 can gain popularity as a preventative measure – and see users only connecting to the internet through a BartPE environment – the freeware could single-handedly put a huge dent into Windows malware infections worldwide. I must say the article has a strong flavour of being written in a hurry to fill up some space (and of BS). The article's theme is that people would be a lot less likely to get infected with malware if they only surfed the web from browsers running in "live CD" environments. The author seems rather ignorant of anything except Windows type solutions - he says "There are three systems – Windows to Go USB, Windows 7 Live USB and BarptPE Windows 7 – all of which provide a means of separating your internet use and your computer use so that internet-based malware is unable to find its way onto your hard drives." Then he proceeds to examine them: 1. Windows to Go USB: Only available to Windows 8 Enterprise users and only legal to use on a business computer in that environment. 2. Windows 7 live USB: illegal! 3. BartPE Windows 7: illegal! (and not Windows 7). So he seems to be one of those girls that promise a lot to get your attention but delivers little at the end of the date. What amazes me is that he completely ignores the dozens of Linux live CDs and USB solutions that do what he envisages absolutely legally and just throw up a GUI recognisable to Windows users and a browser that they can use just like on a Windows machine. All in all, a non-article to get people to Google in and boost their ad revenue and/or Google page ranking and/or read ads for their VPN products. Salmon Trout, You a re right. I was suckered. As for Live CDs using Linux. They work very good. And are even useful to clean a machine running the Apple OS. Here are some for Windows. Legal. Free. http://www.thewindowsclub.com/bootable-antivirus-rescue-cd-windows-free-download Thank you Salmon-Trout for sawing bits thread.I have a bootable pen drive that contains (1) a live Slax CD (ISO image) for Internet access and (2) The legal Windows 7 Repair Disk ISO I created after I installed the OS. Using Grub4DOS I can select EITHER from a menu. Thus all bases are covered.

That has been controversial.It's not controversial on respectable websites, it's simply not allowed due to licensing or lack of licensing. Quote from: Geek-9pm on October 04, 2013, 02:58:41 PM Therefore, it would be alright for a member of CH to recommend Bert's PE to help virus victims.No, it's not. You don't want MS or other copyright holders to see us as supporting warez. Windows PE, Linux Distributions, Live CD/DVDs. These are ADVANCED tools not really suitable for the majority of people seeking help in forums IMO. |
