Jeremy’s World

Having dealt with a lot of badware in time and having been frustrated by the lack of a good resource for finding badware removal tools quickly and easily, I decided to try and start putting together a list of good badware removal tools available on the Internet.

You can now find on my website under Networking and Security, a thorough list of good badware removal tools which I have commonly used to resolve infections on a wide range of Windows machines.  As I continue to build this site I will be putting together an understanding badware page to help inform people of the dangers of poor Internet use in an effort to better educate users to utilise the Internet wisely.

I hope that people find this list useful.  I would like to thank all the geniuses who wrote these tools for taking their time to make the Internet a little more safer.

If you know of any more good anti-badware tools, post a comment and I will add them to the list.

On this page I have provided a collection of primarily shell scripts freely available for those who wish to use them.  If you wish to make modifications to these scripts please let me know - I would be interested in your ideas to improve or change the way these scripts work.

Backup Scripts

Cyrus-Backup is a script for use on unix-based operating systems to help backup a cryrus mail server database. It performs offline backups of cyrus data and provides a host of parameters for setting how you wish to perform a backup. Based on mailbfr, a script specific to os x servers, this version has been customised to work on Ubuntu linux, but can easily be altered via the list of parameters for alternate flavours of linux and unix-based systems.

	This is a special script to backup your entire mysql dbms. It performs a hot backup of all databases to a location specified in the script arguments. This script is useful for those administrators who need a regular backup of their dbms. Note that the mysql admin tools should be installed on the operating system (normally provided with mysql).
