When troubleshooting a Windows system I often use Google to investigate error codes, to find out what start up items are and if they are safe, or find solutions to common problems. This method works but I find myself spending too much time when there is a faster solution, Winpatrol.

WinPatrol allows you to get a better understanding of what programs are being added to your computer. It monitors important system areas that are commonly altered by many malicious programs. This includes the startup groups (registry and startup folder), cookies and active tasks. You can terminate processes and enable or disable startup programs. The cookie monitoring option allows you to automatically delete cookies based on a keyword found in the cookie name. Additional features include a WHOIS lookup tool and an option to alert you on changes.

The latest version is WinPatrol vv28.1.2013, and you can download it here
