We've all had it happen. Suddenly your system begins running painfully slow. Or maybe you've noticed some internet traffic you can't explain. Or you see mysterious new icons in your system tray. What happened? Is it a virus? A Trojan horse of some kind? Or maybe that new piece of shareware you or someone in your family just looked at installed a "few extras" that weren't advertised.

Startup Sentry to the rescue! Startup Sentry is an extremely powerful yet easy to use management tool designed to track and report on every application, service and driver that loads automatically when Windows starts and alerts you when new ones appear. With Startup Sentry you'll always know when something new or unexpected is being launched "under the radar". You'll be alerted to any spy-ware, ad-ware or Trojan Horse applications that install themselves in your system's registry. You'll learn about drivers that are still being loaded for hardware that you might have removed long ago. You'll see any application "extras" that load at startup which you might not use, but are consuming precious resources. Startup Sentry detects startup items even if they've terminated or unloaded before Startup Sentry runs.

Whether you're arming yourself against spy-ware, ad-ware, Trojans and rogue applications, or you want to optimize your system's startup routine, Startup Sentry can help.
