[QUOTE="Deleted member 65228, post: 697823"] There's other ways of automatically executing code at the boot of the environment. Such as through installed device drivers,or the registry to trick a program into loading a malicious DLL, etc. However, you can check Startup Entries for software through Task Manager usually (go to the Startup tab). For example, if a program stores the file path of a DLL on-disk via the registry so it knows the correct path when it starts up, the value to that key name can be hijacked to provide a path of a rogue DLL. Now when that said program starts up, the rogue DLL is loaded instead. A different example would be via AppInit_DLLs. Any modules set for this will be loaded in a newly started process as long as the architectures of compilation match, and that the process has User32.dll loaded (therefore affecting GUI processes only).
