All In One Computer Tools.

I tend to notice that when I buy a new piece of hardware equipment and load the software that comes with it, starting up my computer seems to get slower. This is because, if I don't stay vigilant and customise the installation of this software, all sorts of unwanted stuff (including spyware) can install itself and adds itself to my start-up sequence! I don't like to leave my machine on 24/7 and shut it down if I am going to be away for several hours, and I always shut it down over night, so a slow start-up can become quite annoying.

All In One Computer Tools has a great utility called "Start Up Manager" that allows viewing, deleting, editing of all start-up entries and that includes any spyware or adware that has sneaked into your startup-sequence via software that has been added.

Other handy utilities in this piece of software are..

Shred File/Folder/ This completely removes personal/sensitive date from your hard drive that cannot be recovered. - Compliantt with U.S. Department of Defense 52220.22 M standard.
