Giveaway of the day — SecuPerts First Aid Kit
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.
System Requirements:
Windows 7/ 8/ 10/ 11

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?

Nancy, the creation of a bootable USB drive does not require an optical drive at all if you use the exe for creating USB drives , well it didn't for me on my laptop with no internal optical drive.

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.

I created a bootable USB drive with the software provided, it was accepted as a UEFI boot device when pressing F12 key on startup and was able to boot from the drive, it was a slow process compared to normal Linux LiveDVDs...
problem 1 it did not see my synaptics touchpad at all so had to find a USB mouse to plug in... problem 2 it asked me for the license key but I was not expecting that... so did not have the key outside of windows environment so had to re-boot back to windows to get the key and transfer it to my phone and reboot back into the first aid kit... ended up at programs GUI, no tooltips on icons so had to click them to discover what they were for... tried to connect to a network and it only showed wireless and Bluetooth but showed no access points or Bluetooth devices' the drivers or configuration was not compatible with Intel wireless and Bluetooth chips and no ethernet hardware was available either so it could not do online check of license key or check for latest anti-malware patterns... that did not turn out to be the biggest problem though as the program/Linux distribution was unable to see the laptops two nvme SSDs or the SATA SSD running on the intel chipset. It only saw the USB drive it booted from! I had high hopes for this but it turned out to be a waste of download and time taken to build it and try it out... the Linux distribution needs far more generic drivers none of my hardware on this laptop is rare or ancient or overly bleeding edge modern. I'd have far more success with an ubuntu boot USB drive and not have the licensing key hassle and have far more functionality thrown in at no extra charge. for the size of the distribution it is amazing that all you get is one program with a few wizards and that's it and practically no hardware support.

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.

jboy, it won't be seen as the formatting is NOT windows readable! just reboot and force boot device choice, using the correct function key, held down during reboot F12 for Asus, some use F9. If you get a choice but it does not include the USB stick you may need to disable secure boot in systems BIOS. If I recall correctly the USB drive is formatted to GPT partitioning so if your systems bios does not know GPT and is MBR only it will fail to boot under all circumstances as the boot firmware does not know what to do with GPT boot media.

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.

jboy, to recover the USB stick for normal use you could try disk management in the management console to delete all partitions on the USB drive and then create a new partition on the stick. I used AOMEI partition assistant pro giveaway to convert the device from GPT back to MBR type partition table and created a single primary partition using all the space on the drive.

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!

jboy, you could see if GRC.COM freeware program validrive can access the media... if it cannot and it's a new SanDisk 64GB drive... it could have simply failed... see if you can get a replacement or refund!

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!

jboy, as I suspected it was their bodged GPT layout on a flash drive that windows did not like, glad you managed to recover the drive.
Happy to help.

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.

One HAS to provide a valid and compatible email address AND agree to receive vendors "newsletter" to participate in this giveaway and their emailing system has to work with your email provider to use their bootable media builder... I suspect that one can use any 3rd party freeware boot media builder that accepts and ISO file as software source to build the bootable USB or DVD media.

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?

Mr.T, yep, use of downloaders like Ant Download manger abuse web file servers by opening excessive number of concurrent connections compared to what the HTTP spec suggests reasonable (8 download threads) that gives them an advantage over those that just use a single thread downloader like a standard web browser. The need to resume timed out or interrupted downloads on very large giveaway downloads outweighs the deisre to be fair to browser downloaders though it is possible to configure the ant downloader to use a single thread with resumes so one is fair and will get the file... but most won't make that sacrifice in download speed without being forced to by enforced server policy.

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