The name of the program is "Startup Cop" and it used to be a free utility from PCMag.com.  PCMag has made its utility library a subscription thing now.  You can download one program for $5.97, or subscribe for a year for $14.97 and download anything you want.  They have so many useful utilities that I have an annual subscription.  Startup Cop is one of their best, and is now Startup Cop Pro 2.  If you do a google search for Startup Cop there may be a web site that still has that free version.
