"Could be Trouble."
Version: Startup Mechanic 2.8
Pros
Good for selecting what you want to run upon start-up.
Cons
None the first time I installed it 4 years ago, but now...
Summary
Norton found a significant threat within the program 2 days after I installed it. I couldn't download it straight from CNet so I don't blame them at all. Nothing but good to say about them. I can't remember where I had to download from so I can't warn anyone off of it.
