53 Autostart Locations

Bilgisayarın açılışında daha doğrusu Windows başlarken bir programı her seferinde çalıştırmak gerektiğinde otomatik başlatma noktalarından birini kullanırız. Ayrıca benzer şekilde sistemimize musallat olan kurtçuk ve turuva atları gibi dosyalara bulaşma karakteristiği göstermeyen yazılımları da bu noktalarda aramak mantıklı bir fikirdir. Aşağıdaki listede 35’i registry (Windows kayıt defteri), 12’si dosya konumu ve 6’sı klasor konumu olmak üzere toplam 53 otomatik başlatma konumu yer alıyor.
