Publisher's Description
From Mlin:
StartupMonitor is a small utility that runs transparently (it doesn't even use a tray icon) and notifies you when any program registers itself to run at system startup. It prevents those utterly useless tray applications from registering themselves behind your back, and it acts as a security tool against trojans like BackOrifice or Netbus.

"PERFECT Security tool!"
Version: StartupMonitor 1.02
Pros
Minimal resources, maximum effectiveness. I know EXACTLY when ANY program wants to alter my startup registry and with a single click I can allow or deny its request. Simplicity is the key...
Cons
None I can discover.
Summary
I've been using this tool for several years with windows XP and I've just come back to load it into another system and I cannot heap enough praise into this review to express my overwhelming satisfaction for this free product.

"Great little program. I've used it for 6 years."
Version: StartupMonitor 1.02
Pros
does it's job and you never know it's running till you need it. I love it.
Cons
None that i can think of.
Summary
You never even know it is running, until some program trys to ad itself to your startup list. then it pops up a window asking if you would like to add it or not. Just click no and continue with what you were doing.I downloaded this from cnet around 04-05 and had it running on my last pc until last week when i got a new one. I was surprised to see i could still find this program. I would hate to be without it.
Thanks CNET -
