Main window
Startup
The startup window shows programs that run when Windows loads.
Services and Internet Explorer toolbars. Recently added programs.
Remove the program from Windows startup. Stop the process and add the program to the startup guard list. From now on, this program will be removed from startup when it tries to run on Windows startup.
Add the program to the delayed startup. Programs in the delayed startup list are loaded one minute after Windows startup. This allows you to begin using the computer without waiting for Windows to load all startup applications.
The startup window helps detect viruses and spyware. If you see a suspicious program, open the detailed information panel. Here you can see the description of the program from the knowledge base and the security analysis of the program.
You can send the suspicious program to virustotal.com, where antivirus engines check the program.
Services
Services are the programs that run in the background. You can see full information on the services.
You can stop or start a service, change its start type, and check it at virustotal.com.
For services, you can see information from the knowledge base and the security analysis. For Windows services, you can see default and recommended start types.
Removal of viruses and control of Windows startup
Now I will intentionally infect the computer with a virus.
AnVir Startup Manager monitors startup and notifies me when a virus tries to infect the computer.
The virus has registered two files; AnVir Startup Manager notes both.
Opening the main window, we can see the detailed security analysis for each file. Suspicious files are marked in red. We can see that the first file is found in the knowledge base of dangerous programs. The file has settled in the system folder, which creates serious suspicion. The file contains no company name, which is characteristic of viruses. We can see the name of the virus in the second file. The file has created two visible icons in the system tray which reduces the security risk. Now I'll cure the infected computer. Remove a key from startup. This program should be deleted automatically. Terminate the process of the virus and remove virus file.
The computer is cured!
Startup guard automatically deletes unnecessary or harmful programs from the startup.
