I have a couple questions about the System Start up tool:
in Help it says what the various color's mean, but what do you do about the ones that are not highlighted in a color?
and
In the description of various yellow and red entries, how do you remove them? and why don't they show up on a scan?
I have some that i think i need to remove but don't know how.

Thanks
James

Hello,

The colours have the following meanings:
Green: it's good and can do no harm
Yellow: it's not definite, like a virus that is named like a Windows file,
they are checked but unknown/open to its behaviour/dangerousness
White: are not checked/categorized yet
Red: bad thing

The information from Paul Collins' Startup list is static information to help you decide the validity of the entry.
There is no scan involved to actually determine if your particular entry is good or bad.

You can find Paul Collins' Startup list here:
