Last week I was working on a customer’s system and was showing them on of the most useful sites on the net. www.sysinfo.org.
You can use sysinfo to look up items in MSCONFIG and determine if there are items that you don’t need. Even more importantly these days it can tell you if the item with the right sounding name is the real thing or no.
A lot of virus’ put items in your MSCONFIG that have identical or near identical names to legit apps (ccApp comes to mind). It will give you the hints to tell you if you have the real thing or no.
This remains one of the 10 most useful sites on the web. Bookmark and use it.
