Follow the instructions
here (or see
Tutorial 119 for a way to add it to a multiboot (E2B) USB
Removable Flash drive. Note: an internet connection is required when you use HitManPro, so the infected system must be connected to the internet.
It is better to boot from a clean USB drive to a linux or WinPE-based recovery solution (LiveCD) than try to run a program from the infected Windows system itself.

AV programs to run from within the OS (e.g. Windows Safe Mode)
Suggested order for disinfecting and speeding up your system
Keep a download of the following programs on your USB stick and carry it with you everywhere so you can 'rescue' an infected PC. Install them and run them to clean up the PC and improve performance:
1. CCleaner
2. MalwareBytes Anti-Malware
3. MalwareBytes Anti-Rootkit (mbar)
4. MalwareBytes Anti-Exploit BETA
6. Use Windows Control Panel - Programs - Uninstall programs and uninstall any programs you have never used
7. Uninstall all AV programs except one AV program (e.g. Avast free)
8. Run the AV (if using Avast do a 'Boot-time scan' and check for 'potentially unwanted programs' (PUPs).
9. Run MSConfig and disable all unneeded Startup items (if in doubt disable them all except the AV program and then enable any that you find you really need after rebooting!)
10. In MSConfig - Services - deselect any unwanted, resource hungry services - e.g. Fax, update services, parental controls, Media Centre stuff, Windows Search (use SwiftSearch instead!)
11. For best performance, change the Windows performance settings ((Right-click on Desktop - Personalize) Windows 7 Classic (or Basic which uses slightly more resources)
12. Right-click on Computer icon and go to Advanced System Settings - Performance Options - Adjust for best performance - Apply.
You can also disable System Restore (protection) - remember to make a restore point manually once you have a 'stable' system.
13. Tweak AV settings exclude some searched folders from a scan to improve performance (e.g. if you keep loads of files in D:\MyVideos and you never download files into that folder then you can exclude it from the AV search scans).
14. Browser - Reset (e.g. Delete Personal Settings in IE) to clear all old settings and passwords, etc. - then in your browser settings, 'Manage your search engines' and delete all but one (e.g. leave Google). Avoid 'Ask' and 'Delta Search'!
15, Run CCleaner again and Windows Disk Cleanup
16. Defrag your hard drives (Windows defrag or Defraggler)
