UPDATE

Bundled (midway between open-source and freeware) version here: https://github.com/Ohmnivore/FPCS

Over the past few weeks I’ve found myself doing the same stuff over and over again. Run JRT.exe, run Malwarebytes, run this, run that. All that is of course time-consuming.

This week-end I went to my grandma’s place and I ran the usual stuff. My grandma always ends up with some shady toolbars and whatnot so there’s always work to do when I’m there. Of course I can’t always be there, so I came up with a solution that will allow my grandma to clean up her computer by herself.

So, I proudly present my portable cleanup suite (PCS)!

Disclaimer: this might or might not save your computer if it’s terribly infected. Personally, I’d use something else if heavy artillery is needed. This is meant as a periodic cleanup utility that doesn’t require you to watch over it. Just open and leave. There’s noob-friendly instructions as well.

Of course I didn’t write an anti-virus, a defragment utility, a disc cleanup, and a remover of shitty software. As of now I am using Piriform’s CCleaner and Defraggler, along with VIPRE AV, and the awesome Junk Removal Tool by Thisisu. These are proprietary software, so I can’t package it and share it. I’m now looking for open-source alternatives, but I’ll share the script nevertheless. It should be saved as a .bat file.

Proprietary version below

::   String is the text to print. All quotes will be stripped.
::     The string cannot contain any of the following: * ? < > | : \ /
::     Also, any trailing . or <space> will be stripped.
::
::   The string is printed to the screen without issuing a <newline>,
::   so multiple colors can appear on one line. To terminate the line
