Startup Guard

Startup Guard settings dialog shows list of programs that are automatically deleted from the startup list when these programs try to be added to the startup.

To add items to this list remove an existent startup program from the startup list on Startup page, or remove startup program on "New startup program found" alert.

To remove an item from the list, select an item and click Remove.



When any program tries to add itself to startup, AnVir Task Manager shows notification and allows to cancel new startup program if it’s useless or harmful.

Following startup items are monitored:

• Programs that run on Windows startup, or on user login.
• Non Microsoft services that run on Windows startup.
• Internet Explorer extensions: browser helper objects, toolbars, menu items.

Notification dialog shows following information:

• Name and value of new startup item
• Company name and product description
• Startup database analysis

When new startup item found, you can choose one of following actions:

• Allow – No action will be performed. Select this action if you need this item.
• Quarantine – Startup item will be disabled. Select this action if you don’t need this startup item, but you may need this in future.
• Delete - Startup item will be deleted. Select this action if you definitely don’t need this startup item.

For some annoying startup items you can set check box “Don’t ask any more about this startup item.” In this case selected action will be performed always when this startup item detected.
