Step 7: Startup Monitor
The Startup Monitor is the last program to the Spyware fix. The Startup Monitor for windows helps keep programs from adding themselves to the startup of your computer. For example, a spyware program might try to add itself to the startup programs, so when you computer starts, it will be running without you even knowing. So when a program decides to install itself on your machine into the startup programs, the Startup Monitor will ask you if you want it to install. It is a great piece of software because many of these vicious programs will install themselves into startup without your consent. It is a great monitor program against unwanted software. It's easy to install and runs in the background without affecting the performance of your computer. The free computer monitoring program is simple to install and run, and all you’ll see is a small icon next to your clock.
