In a Windows system you can see many things running when the computer startup. Many of these are installed by you. But there can be a Program or something we don't need (may be a virus). So how do we find out which programs starting with Windows Startup.
1. In the Startup tab System Configuration Utility.
You can remove startup entries in this section
2. Registry
Many keys in the registry are running Programs at Windows startup. I'll post here common keys which use by viruses to start the virus when starting up the Windows
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnceEx
