Autoruns is a startup cleaner utility that is similar to the MSCONFIG utility. However, it is much more comprehensive than msconfig and excellent to track and remove malware entries.
MSCONFIG will only show you startup and services and it doesn’t check digital signatures which means malware can hide from it.
With Autoruns, nothing can hide and there’s no need to use MSCONFIG at all. If your system is infested with a pesky virus, worm or spyware, AutoRuns can be a very valuable tool in its removal.
