Ashampoo FireWall makes announcements of all autostarting entries of your system possible. You can let all entries of your system indicate here simply and comfortably at one time, without looking in the depths of the system registration. Autostart entries are used in addition to automatically start programs with each system start. Manual starting is no longer necessary. However also most Trojan horses use these autostarting entries, mainly in the system registration, so that the Trojan horse is activated with each system start.
