How-to
Let's get you properly set up!
Foreword
This guide assumes that you are a beginner-level user, and have really basic knowledge on computers.
Prerequisites
NOTE
This guide assumes that you are using 7-zip.
Setting up TSO
1. Downloading TSO
Head over the "Download" and choose from the mirrors I have provided.
2. Unpacking the archive
Once you have downloaded the file, right-click on the file to see the options for 7-zip. You can either;
- A. Extract to "archive name" to let 7-zip make it's own folder with the name of the archive and all the files included...
- B. or Open the archive and drag-and-drop the files yourself.
The first one is easier because it's always the same place alongside where the archive is placed.
3. Running the scanners
Open the folder where you extracted TSO, and you can see multiple .exe files. You are free to run all of them ONE-BY-ONE. Don't run all of them at the same time.
Enjoy virus-free life! 👍
MICROSOFT DEFENDER'S OFFLINE SCAN
It is also a pretty good idea to use Windows Defender's Offline scan function. Learn more.
Frequently Asked Questions
"When should I use [Scanner]?"
You can use them in any order you like.
"Why should I download from you, I can just download all of these for free!"
Well yeah, that's why I provided download links in the "What is TSO?" page. I only compiled these tools because I'd rather have them stored in a place where I can easily find them, than having to download them all one-by-one.
"How can I trust that you didn't put any malware in this?"
I have a good paying job and an actual life. I don't need anything from you, whoever you are. Also, I like helping people.
"That's not a good enough reasoning..."
