Our Rating: (Very Good)

a-squared HiJackFree enables you to manage programs that are configured to start automatically whenever your computer boots. You can enables/disable selected items, and also edit the registry information. The program offers a very detailed inspection of all startup areas, including several tricky methods that could be abused by malicious programs, but are usually not shown in standard startup managers. It also shows a list of Explorer add-ons, open ports and programs that use them, host file entires, and running processes. a-squared HiJackFree is intended to be used by advanced users only - disabling or removing the wrong components may cause system instability or worse.
