Oh and ANOTHER question! I use VT all the time for URLs and files. But how do I search on a process? e.g. c\windows\syswow64\wow64cpu.dll? How do I do the search that autoruns does when it is working? This one is pink in autoruns.
For example, Nvidia used to add a ton of telemetry processes, some of which could be useful for gamers but for general use just got in the way and compromise privacy; autoruns was useful for disabling them.
Autoruns is another fine Sysinternals tool that comes with VirusTotal integration. If you are not familiar with autoruns, it scans all auto-starting locations in Windows and provides a comprehensive report. This gives you an overview of all programs that start automatically on the scanned Windows machine.
With this option, autoruns will only submit hashes to VirusTotal. If a file is not known by VirusTotal, you won't have a score. But if you enable "Submit Unknown Images" too, then autoruns will submit (upload) files that are not in VirusTotal's database, and you will have a score after VirusTotal finishes scanning the file (this takes a couple of minutes).
