ouch..

SysInternals makes freeware tools that make maintenance and security of a Windows installation more convenient with programs such as Autoruns and Process Explorer [they're just enablers not actually necessary to clean out a machine]. boh. Well, someone will continue this kind of work for free if the tools go out of date or become commercial..

Let's hope Microsoft keeps SysInternals' tools accessible to the public, even if packaged with the OS.

Maybe the tools will get more exposure with the public, who will actually start caring what's on their computers? Maybe...?
