If you are interested in what goes on inside your PC then this is for you. You can do loads with this,a very useful part is to find out what exactly is loaded at the startup, lots more than you think! You can disable any unneeded process and loads more... I have had this one for years, would not do without it

I've been using it for years now and i think this is one of the most valuables programs to have. It shows you where all the programs are sneaking in from at boot time. Countless times it help me identify right away an infected PC. You can then disable them easily for the next reboot. Your AV program will be able to cleanup more effectively after that.

A really useful app for seeing startup items, and getting rid of redundant entries. Improved my PC's startup time.

This excellent utility by Sysinternals shows most if not all startup items. Its free too! This little utility will show you startup items that you might not know about. Every program Sysinternals has is excellent. Lot of free stuff.

This is a a very powerful program which shows a lot of details. Take some time to get used to it before you make any changes to your system. This one is for advanced computer users. Excellent .. A keeper!

One day Sysinternals will develop a bad piece of software. But until that day comes, we can continue to enjoy yet another fine example of their work. A small footprint, quick operation, ongoing development and no cost begs the question: why can't more software writers follow their example?

Very awesome piece of software, and very powerful, although intimidating for new users and you can screw up your machine with it. this is good to learn what is running but it is for more advanced users. I suggest enabling "hide microsoft entries" and restart it if you are button mashing happy or dont know what your doing. Of course with this u can manually delete spyware and browser hijacks from system, and startup, i also recommend starter and hijackthis, which are similar in a way.

If you want some control over your computer, this program is one of the must haves. I couldn't make it any better even if I could. If you know what I mean?
