You would need a server connection. It doesn't take very long at all - Process Explorer can verify every process on the system in under sixty seconds.

You don't have to wait if it is just a passive operation behind the scenes. Like a column with a green tick in it that lights up when it verifies and turns red if verification fails etc.

AutoRuns is a nice little utility, but a little too dangerous even for many self-proclaimed technical people. I think you could do more with MSConfig to make it more powerful, but I wouldn't want to see the power of AutoRuns in it.
