Copy and paste from another forum, still applies....

I've read quite a few threads on here from brilliant people so I figured I should be able to get an experienced response. I am looking for an open source toolset with similar capabilities of the Geek Squad MRI disk. I would love a linux distro centered around this type of computer maintenance. USB bootable and updatable so I wouldn't have to update definitions each boot/computer I was cleaning. Looking to start making money with my computer knowledge and free right now is about all I can afford
Thanks for the help ahead of time.

Its a fix all solution, from viruses to malware. Also has system stress tests and other utilities.

I found exactly what I was looking for. If anyone else is interested check out Sardu. It downloads numerous repair/protection/os tools and makes a boot disk/thumb drive. Works a treat :)

Hiren's Boot CD is amazing.
