It does not identify any program as useless or dangerous; rather, it notifies you when a program tries to insert itself into the Windoze start queue and asks whether you want to allow the program to do this or not. One of the greatest little Windoze utilities around!

I'm suspicious that it did not stop when I attempted to disable it. I find traces of it in various monitoring utilities and wonder what it's doing and what it's reporting to whom or where? as mentioned by others, it often erroneously identifies programs as useless or dangerous that are not. For example, it doesn't like nwiz, a program that my NVIDIA graphics card apprarently installed. Security Task Manager shows it as "potentially dangerous" because it starts with Windows, messes with the Registry, has no visible window and operates invisibly.
