Osama autorun

[Rusty]

i saw a brief mention of auto run by sysinternals in another post. but for those that are new and look for freebies. Here are 2 free auto run managers.
Sysinternals Auto run





This is a portable app. A Lot here already know about it but some don't. This allows Services and drivers to be disabled at the Registry

Next is one not many may know about. "Osam auto run manager. It also is a free portable (3m) auto run utility. This one has a malware scanner and a online log to save you config info in case you need to change a program back to running.
I never realized how many useless drivers i had running at start up. Drivers to things i do not even OWN or NEED. i like this one it is more friendly with a better GUI

The biggest problem with these is trying to figure out WHAT and WHAT not to run

Osam might be good for the USB toolkit. You could post it there too I'm testing it on my machine to see what it finds.

OSAM autorun was posted on the blog before; Nice find although you've got a rather politically incorrect thread title going on there. lol..
