A while back, Lifehacker talked about removing spyware from your computer. Today's download, Startup Inspector for Windows covers the same ground as the built-in msconfig.exe utility, but it does it with a much nicer and friendlier interface—and with a larger database of known malware.
Startup Inspector scans your Windows Startup Folder and Registry and provides background information about the programs it finds. Use it to remove both harmful and unnecessary programs that hog your computer and reduce system performance. Just uncheck the items you want gone, click apply and restart your computer. Startup Inspector is a free download, Windows only.
