A lot of applications (including rootkits, trojans, viruses and other malicious software) set themselves to start automatically when Windows starts. You can improve your computer's performance by preventing unnecessary programs from running automatically.

This database allows you to search for files that you find starting automatically on your computer and determine if they are malicious, unnecessary or safe to run. To find out what programs are running on your computer when Windows starts, you can try the CESAM Anti-Malware. Using it, you can disable any program, which starts automatically, and it will no longer start.

Each file in the database and in the CESAM main window has a status assigned to it. Here is the explanation:

	Malware Malicious files: trojans, rootkits, viruses, worms, spyware, etc. Unwanted Potentially unwanted programs, e.g. various adware applications Suspicious Most probably the file is malicious Infected Safe programs modified by virus Riskware Legit programs, which may be dangerous if operated by cyber criminals Trusted Safe files of absolutely trusted programs Up-to-You Safe programs, but it is up to you whether or not you want it to run on startup Checked Most probably the file is safe Unknown The file has not been analyzed yet
