To prepare computing devices (e.g., running Windows NT-based operating systems) for offline scanning, without the need for removable media, such as CDs and USB devices, and for users to modify the BIOS settings, parameters regarding a protected-mode operating system and the computing device are collected and verified while the protected-mode operating system is running on the computing device. A kernel of an alternate operating system (e.g., a Linux operating system) can be mapped to the memory of the device, shutdown of the protected-mode operating system can be initiated, a system environment for the alternate operating system kernel can be prepared, and control of the computing device can be transferred or passed to the alternate operating system kernel.

Method and system for offline scanning of computing devices

A system for enhancing performance of a software application obtains a list of files to be processed by the software application, and sorts that list in the order of the physical position of files in the list on a hard drive. The files are loaded in the sorted order which can decrease or minimize the total file seeking time, thereby increasing the speed of execution of the software.
