Thumbs up Good startup files databases
Hello, just want to share some useful info.

While fighting with friend's infected PC i needed to make a research about several autorun files.
After a small research i came across several startup files databases and decided to post this list here.

Here we go: (the order is random)

1. Bleepingcomputer database - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/
24072 items. Good forum, good database

2. CESAM Startup database - http://startups.cesam-antimalware.com
Huge! Over 90000 entries, categorized by risk levels, detailed info about each file etc...

3. PrevX Database - http://www.prevx.com/malwarecenter.asp
A very big and daily updated database of malware files

4. a-squared HiJackFree Autorun List - http://www.hijackfree.com/en/autorunlist/
18311 items. Not very big, but looks good

5. http://www.kephyr.com/filedb/index/all.html - Empty one! LOL =)

Please update this list if i missed some big, good and trusted databases.

Don't know who is who's clone though...

Here's what is posted on a-squared version: The autorun list is presented in association with Sysinfo.org

Copyright is on the sysinfo.org site; on a-squared you can print the list; on sysinfo.org you can download the list in various formats.

I like this one too because it helps you decide what to do with the files.
