  • Autoruns is a free app you can grab off the Microsoft Ignite Sysinternals website.
  • It shows you the currently configured auto-start applications as well as the full list of Registry and file system locations.
  • Anything highlighted in yellow is missing its core files, and anything in pink means it doesn't have a verified digital signature.
