Cons: Database isn't always accurate.
Startup Mechanic is a good program, but it does have it's flaws.
Those looking for a simple startup program won't be disappointed with Startup Mechanic. Startup Mechanic takes the various
startup items onto your computer and puts them into simple categories. Need to disable an item? Check the box next to it and click
disable. Very easy.
However, the downside with Startup Mechanic is that it's database of which programs are good and bad is very inaccurate. I found
numerous times where Startup Mechanic put legitimate startup programs into the harmful category and claimed it was spyware.
If you are looking for a program to also accurately tell you what each item is, you may want to look elsewhere. However, if you just
want a simple way to disable programs on startup, Startup Mechanic just may be what you are looking for.
