The most basic method to check for startup items is by using the built-in System Configuration (msconfig.exe) tool in Windows but unfortunately the points being checked are not complete, can be easily disabled through a simple registry hack and MSConfig doesn’t tell you which entries are unsafe. One of the ways to discover an infection in Windows is by checking on the startup places for any suspicious entries. In order to stay infected, other than being undetected, it has to automatically run when Windows is booted up. Malware is normally programmed to stay infected on the system as long as possible in order to steal more information from the computer through keylogging, to continue spreading and infecting other computers on the network, or to be a part of a botnet waiting for their master to command them to launch a DDoS attack.
