Vista: Use Defender to Monitor and Disable Startup Programs
Defender is not only a great help in protecting your computer from malware, it also simplifies monitoring the programs that automatically start when Windows boots up. To do this…
1. Open Windows Defender.
2. Select Tools.
3. Click Software Explorer.
4. Select Startup Programs from the Category dropdown.
5. Review the programs in the left pane. Selecting a program will display information about it in the right pane.
6. To remove a program from startup, select the program from the left pane and click the Remove button. Use the Disable button for programs you want to temporarily stop from starting when Windows starts. To make them active again, simply select the program and click the Enable button.

um i dont now wat defender you are using but its a bag of sh*t it dosent do any thing msconfig dont do and it doesent do half the stuff msconfig does and it only gives you the options it wants you to have on some programs it just pesters you from the system tray about stuff you allready know and it takes up memory im curently looking for a way to disable it.also as you cant diable it and you cant add remove it i think that it qualifies as malicious
