Title: A Brand "NEW" Idea...on "Autoruns" BUT who'll gonna implement it?
Post by: Saurabhdua on August 18, 2009, 06:26:26 AM: Hello Folks! 8)

All of you have worked really hard to study HijackThis Log & have even devised a "Special Tool" to scour the entries contained within a user's PC!

Is there any possibility to work in the same direction for "Autoruns Log"???!

Both Hardware & Software makers compete with one another to literally CHOKE the user's system with all kinds of UNWANTED "Start-up Items" & "Automatic Services"!

No matter what kind of Processor you go for & how much RAM you have, BOOT TIME shows a falling trend with continuous use!? >:(

Please deliberate on to DEVISE a "Autoruns Tool" that can help users assess what all is required & which all entries can be fended off!

Good to see you.....after a long-long time!

Please be "More Frequent" against my posts!

Broni's Homework::: Please check out the 2nd link you have posted. "Online Link Scanner" detected a SINGLE Threat with that & you have to figure out what it could be?!!

Wanna see the Screenshot...am always "Ever-Ready" with the same! ;)

Please COPY-PASTE the "2nd Link">>sysinfo at http://linkscanner.explabs.com/linkscanner/default.aspx (http://linkscanner.explabs.com/linkscanner/default.aspx) & Run a SCAN.

HE doesn't have to do anything.

Besides- running a scan would- get this - scan HIS computer, which will probably have different results.

I'm sure you know what that image is, right? Missing item?

likely a plugin that the scanner uses.

sysinfo.org web site has been out there for ever, and it's probably the very first site, which started to list startups.
