–> Kindly click here and answer 3 quick questions <–
We’ve been working furiously the past couple of weeks between surveying computer technicians, researching/testing out recommended computer repair software utility tools, and compiling the best ones into the (soon-to-be-released) Tech Utility Pack 3.0 software. The list of tools we are integrating includes tons of killer apps. Our current list is at 193 software utilities and 15 auto-scripts split up into 34 categories!
Below is a never-before revealed complete list of all the tools that will be included in Tech Utility Pack 3.0. This list is likely to grow/change organically once we open Tech Utility Pack 3.0 to beta testing.
PLEASE NOTE: We will not be distributing all of these tools pre-packed with the Tech Utility Pack 3.0. Instead, we will be pre-loading their direct download/update links inside Tech Utility Pack so that each user can choose which tools to keep and which to delete. When a user launches Tech Utility Pack he/she will be able to press a button and automatically download all 193 software utility tools directly to the Tech Utility Pack directory. This process will ensure that we are complying with each software program’s license agreement while still providing the user with a complete, automated, system for storing, organizing, downloading, updating, and launching all the tools portably.
So, without further ado, here is a complete list to-date of the software tools included in Tech Utility Pack 3.0…

PLEASE KEEP ME ADVISED AS TO WHEN THE PRODUCT WILL BE COMING OUT , WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO GIVE IT A TRY AND EVALUATE ITS USEFULNESS.
We would appreciate your professional opinion of the software. I’ll let you know as soon as its ready to test. Thanks James!
Please keep me posted on when this will be coming out or the evaluation. I would very much love to test or purchase this program ASAP
Thank you for your feedback Nathan. I’ll let you know as soon as we have something to test.
I am willing to test the product and possibly buyit when its available
I’ll let you know as soon as we have something to test. We’re still working on the functionality. Thanks for your input Will!
Sounds interesting but where is the test software?
Hi Bob. We are still in the development stage, but will have a beta release soon for testing. I’ll keep you updated and let you know!
Sure. love to try it. anything that makes my life easier and my day shorter!. Will it be bootable for flash drive and will it do auto updates like geeksquad utility?
yes we are working on making the software bootable from any media (CD, DVD, flash drive, etc.) and I think it would also be useful for a non-autoboot version for techs who want to store the software on an existing media device shared with other documents, tools, etc.
I’d also be leary of actually putting that software on a disc or even a server and distributing it for a fee. You could certainly have a program that when run, automatically directs a downloader to seek newer versions of files and programs I have yet, or already download. Also a program which itself can be updated that suggests other software titles and will download them if requested by the tech or person who wants to try them. That way, the program, with it’s scripts, would be rather light. Would a company or .org like Malwarebytes approve of that since your not actually starting at their webpage with their paid options? I don’t know. Would we care if they did care? Peronally I use a self made Vista or XP boot drive/or cd for tougher jobs due to Windows being unable to load. Costs zero dollars. But an application I could open, make a check mark next to programs that I want to verify that I have the latest version of, might be handy. Or If I find a utility not listed in your programs, the ability to add that program, weblink or driver link to be auto verified every time I run the “tech utility” would certainly be useful. All you would have to distribute is the tech utility program itself, and not the 55-70 tools that techs might actually use. The initial download of ALL the programs would be huge, but very limited thereafter. There would be zero need for selling it on cds or flash drives, because your utility would be small and easily updated from your website. Just don’t serve up the programs themselves. Let the techs, or homeuser use up his own bandwith and usb drives/cds/dvds. Subscription services man, subscription service. That’s something I could sell. ALOT of.
@craig, thank you for great insight! That’s actually the exact direction we are going in. We are working to build Tech Utility Pack so that it downloads the software tools directly from the source. If we were to distribute the actual programs ourselves we wouldn’t be in compliance with the license agreements. You are right that this will save on bandwidth and ensure that the user is always getting the newest version of the software!
We also want it to be built so that you can click which tools you want, which you don’t want, and also add your own, so that the software only downloads and auto-updates exactly the tools you want it to. Customization I believe will be key.
(the subscription service being daily updates to the tech utility itself due to newer programs coming out, changed links, removing obsolete programs, new or improved PROPRIETARTY tech utility scripts, ect.)
ONe other thing that would be helpful. A program like RKILL which in addition to killing known processes also checks or resets winsock properties and auto configures internet connetion settings to “auto” instead of the proxy many viruses change the setting to. Can’t connect to the internet? Push this button. Ta-da. Your back on. (of course that won’t do crap for a bad router or modem)
Great idea!
Its a good start but it has alot of work to go, some of the utilities are un necessary for a tech like:
Reset Network – you can do this in windows or using ipconfig that is built in.
thanks for your input. The software tools we listed on this update post are just a sample and not the complete list. You will also be able to add your own tools as well so you are assured that you will have a collection of exactly the tools you need.
@ James, Nathan, Will & Bob….We are working on the beta release right now. As soon as it’s ready to test we’ll let you know so you can try Tech Utility Pack out! Also, this is why I (Ryan) asked for your feedback. Please share with me any ideas of functionality or tools you’d like to see incorporated into the program because we can build them in now while we are in the development stages
you know there are a few other free ones such as the ultimate boot cd, most Live Linux ect.. Please don’t spam me anymore.
Hi Klint. Thats right there are a few tools out there already that do similar tasks. I was never satisfied with those tools because they contained a lot of junk software on them and I wasn’t able to easily add more tools, delete ones I didn’t want, and auto-update them all. That’s the main reason I set out to make something better. Sorry my questions came across as spam. That was not my intention. Best of luck to you in your business.
This “Utility Pack” is essentially re-branding copyrighted material, specifically Norton Removal Tool (and the McAfee one), Combofix, SuperAntispyware, and CCleaner. I’d like to know how you are doing this legally– ESPECIALLY when bleepingcomputer.com SPECIFICALLY states to NOT use Combofix unless it is a last resort, and the ONLY true source for this file is through them…
Hi Jeff. I appreciate your concern and you are correct – If we were distributing these software programs in our utility pack we would not be in compliance with the license agreements. We will not be doing that.
When you download the Tech Utility Pack you will not be downloading anyone’s software but our own. Most freeware programs have a direct link to download their software. The Tech Utility Pack will allow you to store these links within the software. It will also have a feature that will allow you to initiate the download directly from the software’s website to the appropriate directory within the Tech Utility Pack filing system. At all times our users will be downloading the software just like if they were on the website clicking on the “download” button. Tech Utility Pack will make life easier by automating this process (among other useful features). So we will never be distributing anyone else’s software but our own.
When we say we are including 70+ software programs within the Tech Utility Pack, what we mean is that we will have the 70+ download links pre-stored in the software. If you don’t like a particular program you can simply remove the link from the directory. If you want to add a piece of software not included, you will be able to add your own links.
Before I judge anything I would give it a try if you need any testers. I have over 20 years computer experience providing onsite computer service with many platforms such as Windows, Mac, and Unix. Time is the most valuable asset we all posses and if we can free up more time in any given day that would be awesome. I service anywhere from 3-4 onsite calls a day and I know I am one of the most efficient techs out there and if there is another tool in my bag to help me strive fbecome even more efficient let me know. My company also has 10 other techs working toward the same goals so I know if it will help me it will help out the rest of my guys as well I’m sure.
Take Care

Thank you Tom. We are eager for you and your techs to try it out. We’re still in the development stages now but will let you know as soon as we have a beta release ready. Are there any features you’d like to see integrated that you don’t currently have available to you in your existing tools/software?
I know of acme cool scripts that can backup all e users common data like my documents, the address book, outlook, outlook express, music, pictures.
I use one that uses the %username% variable and appends all the standard locations. One shouldn’t just rely on this on its own and do some due diligence or they may miss some data not backup in the proper area but it would be great to have on the lists well. It’s should support xp/vista/windows 7 locations which can be a little different between the os’s.
Thanks for the tip Tom. Are you referring to a custom script or something available online?
Hello,
Please keep me posted. Looks like a lot of nice tools. I’d sure like to test it out, is there anything like that available?
Thanks,
Bob
Hi Bob, thank you for your interest! Please join our beta email list at this url to be notified when the software is available to test: http://www.techutilitypack.com/email-beta-list
I already use many of the tools in this package, however there are some that I do not but the package as a whole is incredible. Thank you for your hard work, just don’t make it too expensive…
Thank you Adam for the feedback! Also, these are just a sampling. We will be integrating a larger list of software tools when we are ready to release Tech Utility Pack 3.0. Also, did you join our beta email list?
Of course…
another program you want to think about is an ad-ware tool….
Ok thanks for the tip! I will make a note of it
This sounds and looks like just another knock off of HAWK PE. Hawk PE is distributed free with the same if not better tools included. Why should we pay for this again? How are you going to handle updates for programs that expire like Norton removal tool and others. I’m not trying to sound like an A-hole but I’ve been in this game a long time.
Hi Rob. Thanks for sharing about Hawk PE. The difference between Hawk PE and Tech Utility Pack 3.0 is Hawk PE is a Windows installation with a few tools pre-packaged inside. Hawk PE doesn’t provide the average computer tech the ability to easily add their own tools, auto-update all the tools, portably deploy each tool, organize each tool, remove the ones he/she does not want, and (potentially) setup auto-scripts.
Hawk PE can be adapted; however, that requires coding knowledge that not a lot of people have. We also won’t be distributing the actual free software built-in like Hawk PE does. Instead, we are creating a system where we can store direct download links so techs can auto-download, organize and update only the tools that they want. We are going for additional features we haven’t found on existing resources and packaging it all into a user-friendly environment. I hope this helps explain the differences. Thanks again!
Like Hiren’s, or even BART PE, I think you misunderstand those preboot environments.
Yes, they do contain most of the tools you have listed, and for you to say either of these tools wouldn’t help a professional tech get the job done, makes you seem like you are unaware of the experienced use of said tools.
As a professional I have paid for tools, and freely available tools. I failed to notice any listing of SysInternals on your list. most of those tools are command prompt based and resolves quite a few system problems at no cost.
Of course most tools I think about are for the experienced technician.
Can I expect your “UtilityPack” to include detailed instructions on usage and experienced support forums for if in case any user of your tools fails to resolve a problem they were unprepared to handle?
I noticed GPU-Z and HWMonitor are on their, but I’m a big fan of CPU-Z for basic quick and dirty info grabbing of motherboard information, ram, slots left, etc. Can you include CPU-Z as well?
Also, take a note from sUBs (creator of Combofix) and incorporate some kind of disclaimer/pop-up stating that the software is being distributed FREE from “xyz source” ONLY, so unauthorized persons don’t try to steal credit for your work, or make profit on it where profit isn’t the idea.
Other than that, reviewed all 129 applications, I’d like to see Notepad++ included, for techs that also do webdesign work or troubleshooting. I have also considered carrying around Virtual Box for customers that need to run older programs after they replace older and/or broken computers. Just food for thought.
Looking forward to testing / using the tool. – Mark w/ RAD Computers
Looks good. I would be interested to have my techs try it out and provide feedback. Looking forward to it.

Hi TJ. We will keep you updated as we make progress with the beta release.
Would like to become part of the beta testing team
Thank you
Ben, did you join the beta list?
I am very interested in this beta testing. I use a couple of different softwares which are all listed in your list but I would love to have an easy access to different software other people use.
Christophe, we’d be honored to have you test the software. I’ll keep you updated as we make progress with the first release.
As an owner of a computer repair company, I am very excited about this. This will help many people and would love to be part of this. Let me know if there is anything you need to get this up and running. Great job and Thank you Ryan.
I’m glad you are as excited as we are! We will keep you updated as we make progress with the first release.
While I see the value in the specific programs, they are generally a “download Once” kind of thing. So why do I need another program that simply has the links within for the direct download of these files? Why can’t I simply Google search each one that I would need, and download them manually? Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t appreciate the work you’ve done in compiling this list of apps, but does the Tech Utility Pack offer more than I’ve suggested?
Chris, the reason we are building this software is because right now it would take you a tremendous amount of time to individually visit almost 200 websites, download each program, and then manually organize them into folders. It then becomes exponentially more difficult to go back, check all 200 programs for new releases, and download the those updates. We are working on building an interface that auto-downloads the programs for you, organizes them into categories, and also auto-updates them when new releases come out. I hope that helps clarify.
Hey, thanks for contributing to the computer repair community.
I’d like to beta test this, I’m a tech with a small personal business.
-Ryan
Thank you Ryan. We’d love for you to try the software out as well. We will keep you posted as we make progress with the first release.
I understand your problems with the developer but am not happy with the way you used this email list to promote something else. It almost makes me think that this was a scam to retrieve email addresses of some company owners to which you could possible sell your services to.
Adam, I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “promoting something else”. The only thing I emailed you all about other than this tech utility pack was to give you a free newsletter I built for ACRBO. That wasn’t promoting anything. Just giving you something useful for your computer repair business while we’re waiting on this software to finish building.
I do hope that down the road, after this software is launched, we can all maintain connected to each other. We are all in this together.
I am tech computer for more than 15 years, y sound good your idea but where I can download your software for try.
Hi Ovido. Are you on the beta list? We are currently in development of the Tech Utility Pack and will notify you as soon as it is complete.
I would like to try out the beta release.
