Hey Everyone im new to this forum and i was just wondering what all the experienced Techs use when / if they make an onsite visit. Basically my company just added this onsite PC clean up service and they want me to head it up, Im a web developer by trade but have a fairly high knowledge as far as A+ goes but what i need to know is ... Is there a software bundle or any general files that techs should carry as well i was told to compile a disk of drivers and such as some of our clients possibly will not have an internet connection. This seems overwhelming to me as the possibilities of drivers could be huge.

Any Advice or direction is as Always Greatly Appreciated.

I know there are CD's being sold on ebay that are a compilation of
most mainline drivers.
You might want to check there.
Might be easier to see if the company will foot the bill for a wireless
connection through a cell phone,so you can have a connection
anywhere you go.

One thing I carry with me is the latest versions of Ad-Aware, Spybot, AVG (anti virus), HiJack This!, Firefox, Thunderbird, plus WinXP Service Pack 2, the latest Win 2000 Service Pack (I don't remember the version at the moment), plus a few other utilities that I've found useful from time to time.
