When you start your operating system, normally it opens applications that are installed in the PC and that run automatically. Startup Defender is a small tool that supervises and monitors the programs that are in the Startup menu of the Windows system configuration utility to stop some of them running without your consent.

It works very simply, as it has a simple to use interface, designed for novices and experts. In the case of a program trying to start on its own, Startup Defender will open a pop-up window to ask you if you give it permission or not. You also have the option to mark the applications you want to run on Startup, and block those you don´t from your PC.

If there is an entry, and you don´t know which program it refers to, you can consult Google to see if it is needed for the operating system to run smoothly or it´s just another application. And for these applications that repeatedly autorun in Windows, Startup Defender has an option to permanently block them, so you don´t have to close them each time you start up your PC.

Via the elimination of unwanted programs in the Windows startup, it lets your PC work quicker and blocks trojans and adware that start automatically.
