This is not a program for the unwary. It presents a long list of settings, processes, and URLs that are color-coded black, red, and yellow. There is very little explanation for any of them or even for the color coding, and clicking on them for more information yields very little more (except that it will tell you if it's been flagged as an antivirus). I'm figuring red means "don't change this," since it includes processes such as the Task Scheduler and Windows Defender, but who knows? There's also a setting to disable Defender.

It also writes a long list of URLs as comments to the host file, which caused DNS to be unable to read the file. It doesn't ask if you want to do that, it just does it.

Thanks for the giveaway! I can't get idea informer to work so will post my suggestion here; I would like to suggest, if possible, a utility to stop windows (10 or even 11) from updating without permission! I do a lot of animation, some 3D scenes take up to a week to render. If windows decides I am not allowed to delay the update, I lose all that work. Plus, their updates break a lot of my old software which is a pain to get running again. I'd accept any risk they say I'm running if I could just stop their updates forever!

OOPS!! I forgot to mention that I saw the option to disable updates, but have seen it in other software and it has, without fail, been overridden by microsoft.

I should have mentioned that, but I am tired and didn't express myself completely.

Thanks again and I'll write to your support crew if it fails.

Search for the Sysinternals software on the Microsoft website called AutoRuns. No need for this unknown software from an unknown author. There a tons of great apps, ALL FREE, made by Sysinternals and written by someone who knows Windows inside and out. I'd trust anything written by him long before a free Giveaway app. Just my 2-cents.

Dangerous in most users' hands. It flags as spyware many essential and optional programs that most people would not consider "spyware," including the Event Viewer process and Windows Defender.

Deactivating many of the processes marked in red would either cripple most computers or leave them wide open to invasion by actually dangerous programs. There is little information given about these processes in the program or on the website, other than whether or not they are viruses. No explanation of what they are for, which would be essential to making an informed decision. Useful, perhaps, for people who already know what they are doing, but for everyone else, proceed with caution.

Sounds interesting. I've always wanted something to tell me what those cryptically named processes are that show up in Task Manager.

rww, nothing against this app but if that's all you are looking for, you can just google a process and you'll learn what it is and who developed it.
