/boot in HJT line

Howdy, Hope this is the right place to post this Question on HJT line. I need to know what does the /boot mean in HJT lines for example >>>> O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ANONYMIZER_SPYWAREKILLER] C:\Program Files\SpyWare Killer\spywarekiller.exe /BOOT

Q. What does the boot stand for ...... Is that to start when computer is booted for it to run ???

Q. Are there other boots beside /boot ?? Oh & what is osboot ?????

Also can all the boots be removed safely from HJT log or just the bad ones ??
I know the above 04 is bad !!
Hope this makes sence !!

Thanks for any info !!!

 

I really can't tell if you are asking about removing just the /boot or osboot switches or the entire line so ...

If you do not want an item running at startup, remove the entire registry entry line.

Note that HJT makes no attempt to flag items as safe/unsafe, essential/unessential, whatever. So removing a bunch of lines can easily disable some programs or even prevent your PC from booting properly.

 

Just want to know what the /boot stands for & the osboot ?? What are they ??

Thanks !

 

An item following a call to a program and preceded by a slash or hyphen is called an argument or parameter and the program reads it and if it is understood by the program (not an error) the program acts upon it Thus /boot tells the program to do something, probably at boot time, e.g. start a tsr (terminate (the loader) and stay resident (keep running in memory)).
