I have read some posts and generally don't even know the simplest of terminogies it seems. I guess I got this CD to go in the right spot on my Dell 4700 Dimension, else I wouldn't be here. Does anyone have the patience or wherewithall to dumb down, or send me to a beginner's forum, where I can try to make use of this disc? I guess I should ask too, did I buy the right product to get rid of all the unwanted viruses that permeate my computer?

Thanks in advance,

CJ

You didn't have to buy UBCD because it is freely available.

To know how all the tools on UBCD work, look at http://www.ultimatebootcd.com. Scroll to the bottom until you see "Tools currently included in the Ultimate Boot CD are:"
For you, the right section will be "Anti-Virus/Malware Tools". With the programs listed there, you can remove viruses but the definition files are out of date (won't detect new viruses).
Click on the links of the other programs too, to see what they can do.

If you have indeed viruses, you probably can better surf to http://www.ubcd4win.com and build your own bootable graphical windows environment. If you don't know how to build it, see http://www.ubcd4win.com/howto.htm.

There was nothing on the page that I clicked onto that had any of your menu topics. It had 'Overview', and the last thing on the page was 'Trinux'.

If you boot UBCD, you have to navigate through the menus (They are organised a little bit different, but if you know the program name, you will find it.
