Windows Medkit

Windows Medkit is a tiny and portable tool whose purpose is to eliminate viruses and repair the Windows Registry after a virus infection. It includes useful options that would particularly please power users looking to keep their computers clean and within normal working parameters.

Since there is no setup pack involved, you can drop the executable file to a custom location on the HDD and just click it to run. Alternatively, Windows Medkit can be run on any workstation directly from a pen drive or similar storage unit.

The interface is based on a small window that stays on top of other frames but you can change this option. It does not contain striking visual elements but is well structured..

Windows Medkit is made from a collection of several utilities dedicated to PC repairing and maintenance, such as a task manager. Basically, you view a list of currently active processes and terminate the selected ones (normally or by using force), in addition to disabling autostart entries.

Moreover, you can access the System.ini and Win.ini files for editing, run a built-in file manager for exploring directories in a secure environment, show or delete hidden files, as well as prevent computer shutdown and block tasks from running.

Other functions of Windows Medkit let you point out files and drives for monitoring, run quick fixups (e.g. ineffective show hidden and system files, enable Run, Control Panel and Start menu), run a program or execute a command, log off, restart or shut down the computer, as well as access system tools straight from the main app window (e.g. Explorer, Task Manager).

The program has minimal impact on system resources and performs well, without causing the OS to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. Unfortunately, its options are not very intuitive for less experienced users, and there is no help documentation available. Other than that, Windows Medkit gives you a hand whenever you need to attend computer issues during and after virus attacks.
