For Windows just use `Sysinternals suite
<https://technet.microsoft.com/ru-ru/sysinternals/>`_. There are two tools which
help a lot:

 * ``procexp.exe`` to find which process lock file and path to executable images
   for removing unwanted software.
 * ``autoruns.exe`` to find program and service registration.

Also you may use less powerful but built-in ``msconfig.exe`` to investigate
startup processes registration.

HijackThis.
-----------

Works nice on 32-bit Windows. But fail to properly handle paths on 64-bit.

Autoruns from sysinternals supresses HijackThis by quality and number of
detected places.

Under Windows 10 x64 it cause reboot due to write to rean-only memory.
