TSR

Short for Terminate-and-stay-resident, a TSR is a software program that remains in memory until it is needed, and then performs some function. An good example of a TSR is a Virus Scanner, which must remain loaded in memory to help protect your computer from computer viruses.

See document CHTSR for additional information about Windows TSRs as well as how to remove them or temporarily disable them.
