        <description><![CDATA[As others have already stated, one should not tread the murky waters of the web without Autoruns firmly entrenched into your bag of tools.One of its best features, and one not mentioned in this thread is the Compare feature.  It's a rare day indeed I forget to create a baseline compare save following a new pc reload.  It's hard to fool a quality pre-web-connect log of data such as Autoruns provides.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[jesuskid1, I'm sorry I missed your cry! May I suggest that you watch this video from YouTube....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb4qJ5Za6zYMy point, when you fall in a vat of choclate don't yell fire? Your post titled WSCC and complaining of viruses would have received attention much faster had it been titled &quot;VIRUS Alert&quot;.I could have rapidly responded that the virus alerts you received were all &quot;false positives&quot; and were no cause for alarm.In my case I get an alarm on &quot;Netpass&quot; from Avast whenever I download the app. To prevent the whistle from blowing and scaring hell out of me, before I download or upgrade WSCC, I go to the icon for Avast in Systray, right-click to get the context menu, and &quot;Disable for 10 mins&quot; so Avast won't ring the bell. Problem solved! I use Avast... you may use a different A/V app so the procedure may be different? In any case, the survival rate for &quot;false positives&quot; is roughly 100%. YMMV]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The PSTools referenced here (and others) have come in very handy.  FYI, there's also a front end GUI available (called 'fepstools') that makes using the tools even easier.  Of course, it's also easier to accidentally reek havoc because it stores your last command, so be cautious when using it.  Don't want to reboot someone's PC, then accidentally reboot a server at another time because you forgot to switch commands.  Not that I've done that personally or anything......Download PSTools, then look for 'fepstools' (can be found by Googling.)]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Bash has all these tools built-in. So why aren't these useful apps integrated into the OS or better yet a command-line installer for ease with official repositories like yum or apt? It's 5am. I'm asking too much and haven't slept a wink. I'm flooooooaaaating in dream land which exists nowhere and yet somewhere much like a cloud. But is it beautiful a nimbus cloud or high flying stratus cloud. Or worse! A dark cumulo-nimbus pregnant with potential rain? I'm sorry. It's now 5:03am and not a wink of sleep yet. ROFL!!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Of the top 10, I'd say Autoruns is an absolute must.  Besides tracking down Malware, it's also a great way of temporarily speeding up a computer to work on, especially on a computer running Vista with just 1GB of RAM as you can temporarily disable all the main processes, e.g. the 'Run', 'Task Scheduler', 'Browser helper objects' entries and so on and reboot the computer so there is little running.  Once finished, then re-enable them all or even gradually to find out which start-up processes have the most impact on resources/performance.One utility I'm surprised didn't get a mention is TCPView.  This highlights TCP connections being made, dropped and which are established by which processes.  If you notice a lot of Internet/network activity from a computer, this will quickly reveal the culprit.]]></description>
