Every day we offer FREE licensed software you’d have to buy otherwise.
SecuPerts First Aid Kit was available as a giveaway on June 20, 2025!
If Windows won’t start any more, there is not only the threatening prospect of a long-winded reinstallation process, but also of losing all the data available on the computer. On the other hand, it is clearly less stressful to use an emergency system like SecuPerts First Aid Kit.
The First Aid Kit is based on a Linux system that includes all the tools needed to recover data and systems, and it can be easily used by non-computer experts thanks to a simple system of prompts.
The kit’s features also include a virus scanner that can detect and remove viruses. The virus scanner contains technology from Avira. Even if persistent malware has shut down the virus scanner under Windows, the emergency system can continue doing its job without any restrictions.

I followed the whole process and finaly I had the iso.
However, when trying this kit, I started from dvd etc. But then again was asked the license key and I got the message that my PC was not connected with the internet ... My PC certainly is and was connected with the internet.
So for me it is useless.

I was able to download and install to a USB disk, but I was not able to get it to autorun even after re-booting. In reading the manual, this is the first paragraph: "The "SecuPerts - First Aid Kit" can be started using a bootable DVD or USB flash drive. If you do not have an optical drive, you can also use a USB flash drive.
The creation of a bootable USB flash drive requires an optical drive for one time. You could use a friends drive for this (more details under "USB installation")".
I have a new machine that does not come with a CD drive since everything is digital now, so I need to get in my car and drive to somewhere else to borrow a CD Drive to get this working?

Was able to create a First Aid boot DVD. Booted DVD and only annoying thing, and not unique to this programs recovery media, is that all text, icons on screen are very small on my 4K pc monitor. Not a show stopper. There is probably a simple way to deal with this but haven't quite figured out yet.
Was unable to create a First Aid boot USB. Encountered following error message:
File Error: An error occurred while querying the properties. This Usually means something is currently accessing the device. Please close all applications and try again.
Error 122: The data area passed to a system call is too small.
Rebooted. Followed instructions to close all applications. No luck. Again there is probably a reasonable explanation.

If the publisher is monitoring these comments, please help me out here. I installed to USB, the installation popped up a window with 3 choices, "read", "write, "exit" showing the USB drive as destination so I clicked "write", the installation was completed and I restarted as requested. Now the USB does not show at all in the directory list on my laptop and there is no way to access it. I am stumped! TIA to anyone who can help.

TK,
Thanks for the reply, it's much appreciated. Frankly, from all the comments here it seems there may be too many issues with this software so I don;t think it's worth the trouble to figure out. Now if only I could clean the USB drive to make it usable again other wise, I'll just have to toss it. I tried using Diskpart but it gives an error when it tries to clean. Disk mgmt gives an error when it tries to format it. Seems those whole thing was a bust! Anyway, thanks again for replying and for the information.

TK,
I have tried numerous things using Disk Mgmt and Macrorit partition expert and nothing works. The drive seems to have been cleaned but then when I go to format it, I get Disk Mgmt can't access it even though it appears in drive list and Macrorit gives an 4652 NTS-Copy error. At this point, I don't even know everything I have tried! It is a new SanDisk 64GB drive but not a huge loss if I cannot salvage it. It's more irritating than anything else! I may fiddle around with it bit more otherwise I will end up just tossing it.
Thank you again for the replies and the information and trying to help. It is very much appreciated!

TK,
Valdrive scanned it fine and saw no issues. I checked various tech help sites (how-to-geek, solveyourtech, windowsclub, etc.) and tried a few things to no avail. Finally, I wiped the drive, split it into 2 partitions and then using disk mgmt made each a "New Simple Volume" and sure enough, that seems to have worked as they now show in the "This PC" drives list. I have not tried to install anything on them but I was able to copy some pictures to them without issue and they are accessible from there so it looks good.
Without your help, I probably would have trashed the drive so, again, thank you very much for taking the time and effort to help. It is so very much appreciated!

MoK manager is asking me for "selected binary" to have it's hash installed before I can boot this on a UEFI with Secure Boot. I can't seem to find the correct file. Author's website appears slim on support except by email.

I have used FDM (Free Download Manager) for many years.
Very useful for large files, as you can resume the download.

Can this be installed on a portable thumb drive?

1800MB @ 200KB/s = 2 hour download. I only have a gigabit Fiber connection. Maybe GiveAwayOfTheDay hosting is overloaded?

Helen,
To speed things up I would suggest people to give Ant Downloadmanager a try.
