ya the majority do download useless junk that in fact harms more than helps. The real free helpful software is hard to find. http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds http://majorgeeks.com/download460.html http://www.filehippo.com/download_autoruns/ http://www.avg.com/ http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/ <---this is the only one I recommend buying. haha.. reading through the first several posts, I was going to suggest most of these. SpywareDoctor is free with googlepack software, which are all free as well. CCleaner is a must sysinternals has the best autoruns I've used, and is likely to be the one you're referencing to. It is a company that writes utility software that interfaces with existing microsoft .dlls . It's free and can be downloaded off of microsoft at technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default.aspx .. or mirrored from other sites of course. it develops a variety of tools and utility applications, check them all out as well. I don't have much experience with AVG, other than having to adher to the network policies of it, when I was a webmaster. So I'm guessing it's geared to be more of a network security app. Well the most known one which happens to be a bigger security risk than all of the editions of IE is that it secretly stores all usernames and passwords in a file that also states what websites that they go to. There are many others, but that is the most important one. Surprised that you didn't know that! Does this information get stored in clear text? Does this secret file have fully authorized/open read priviledges applied to it? |

Watch out with AVG..the new versions installs a service that can block certain things to install right. I had this issue until I noticed it and disabled it. I uninstalled and I use Antivir[ now.
