StartShield 2010

A U.S. national retailer was recently charging $65.00 US to "optimize" new computers. Why would a new computer need to be "optimized" before it's even taken home by the purchaser? Bloatware. In reality, only a fraction of all computers are infected with malware, spyware or viruses. ALL computers however, including new ones right out of the box, are infected with useless programs installed in their startup sequence that do little more than consume valuable memory and throw yet another company logo in the user's face. The real threat to computers today isn't the hacker, it's legitimate companies vying for desktop advertising space.

Using file signature analysis, StartShield is the only startup management program that treats programs in the Windows startup from the same perspective as most anti-virus and anti-malware programs. StartShield is able to uniquely identify each program and service in the startup and using client/server technology, is able to make intelligent recommendations on which of those programs are necessesary and which ones are not. Having both the power demanded by professionals as well as the ease of use for the computer novice, StartShield takes startup management to a new level.

Combined with StartGuard, our passive startup protection tool, StartShield gives users the information they need to make intelligent choices about the programs in their startup, eliminate bloatware, improve computer performance, and keep it that way.

Why pay $65.00 US to "optimize" your computer once when StartShield can optimize it and keep it optimized for a lot less?
