ABOUT BUGKIT:

Download BugKitDOWNLOAD BUGKIT

BUGKIT is an emergency virus rescue tool designed to be used by novice and expert alike.

It's main function is to download and update several virus cleaning applications. The following applications are supported:

AVAST Cleaner
AVERT Stinger
F-Protect DOS (with special support for FPCMD if available)
KAV (includes DOS and ESCAN Windows components)
McAfee (DOS and Windows cmdline scanners)
Trend Sysclean

Once installed, BUGKIT can do some pretty cool things:

  • Any application can be blocked, whereupon it will be ignored in both the "update" and "run" phases.
  • A Windows task can be set up to allow BUGKIT to update virus defs daily using the provided "BUGKIT Auto update" link.
  • Reports are collected (optional) and appended (optional) to a central location (C:\BUGREPORT by default) for easy perusal, and will be saved even if BUGKIT is removed.
  • Uninstallation is as simple as removing the bugkit directory.

For advanced users (designed for tech rescue disks), BUGKIT has a few more tricks:

  • BUGKIT can create multiple "installer builds" to suit your rescue disk needs. Installation paths can be altered to fit your preferences.
  • The builds can be updated each time BUGKIT updates.
  • Each build can then update your respective CDMastering directories- so every time BUGKIT updates, your CDMaster is too.

BUGKIT is currently in BETA. It seems to work fine, but has not been extensively tested in all environments. Use at your own risk. There is no guarantee whatsoever.

Your feedback (good and bad) is very welcome- including wishlist stuff and any known errors.

While perfectly functional, I have several more ideas to implement, mostly revolving around updating BUGKIT itself automatically- If update urls change or if BUGKIT grows a new feature, BUGKIT will be able to take advantage of the internet to correct it's problems and add new things.

It is still a little clunky too- alot of hard coding that I would rather have made differently. The next generation will be written differently- And once I have your feedback, and if BUGKIT is useful enough to be popular, the next generation will begin!
