If a program that is "known to not be spyware" adds itself
to my startup tasks, the anti-spyware programs tells me,
but doesn't offer me a chance to prevent it. Why not? If
I install something like Quicktime, even if it isn't
spyware, I don't want it to run at startup, so PLEASE let
me block it!

How about using msconfig?
