Startup Defender is a small program that sits in your Windows tray and constantly monitors the startup locations on your PC to help prevent programs from auto starting up behind your back. If a program tries to write itself into any startup location Startup Defender will popup a windows and ask if the program is allowed to place itself to start automatically with Windows.Also you can disable/enable any programs that are currently installed to startup automatically. If there is an entry you are not sure what it is then you can Google it to see if it is needed or even harmful and choose if you want it to load it at startup or not. For the annoying programs that try to repeatedly place themselves in the autorun for Windows you can click the auto block so that Startup Defender stops them with out you having to bother with them any more.

Trusting your PC with software by a company that can’t even monitor it’s own forum, I think not.
Be especially carefull what you click in the bug report section. When I went checking it was full with NSFW links and pics.
So how is this different from msconfig?
Not sure why someone would pay $9 for this as there are several freeware products that are very good. Autoruns from Sysinternals (Microsoft) is one of the best. If you want something a little less than autoruns there is Start Up Guard from Acelogix, makers of Ace Utilities. Also a few other freeware goodies on their site.
