StartupList
A handy dandy tool that can peek into the startup processes of Windows. It shows all autoloading software (that can be placed on a few places) on your PC. Very useful for finding trojans, viruses, and spyware. Although this tool does not fix anything it gives you a much more comprehensive list of startup programs than for example MSConfig. Very useful when used in conjunction with spybot, adaware etc.
Very simple program - when launch it create a list of all startup entries in the Registry and various Windows files and display them in a Notepad window. The entire process takes only a few seconds even on the slowest PC.
