Doing a lot of Adware/Spyware removal, I've wondered for some time now which is the most efficient method of removal.
If you remove an infected harddrive and connect it via USB to another machine, and run a scan: does it do as through of a job as if you loaded the program on the infected HD and did a scan?
If it does then I might as well do it that way from now on. But I'm thinking it wouldn't scan the registry entries on the USB drive. I'm also thinking it might not find everything since they wouldn't be active running processes.
Thanks for your time and responses!
