Winpooch
I've seen someone talking about this program, so I decided to look into it, especially because it's free.Winpooch can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/winpooch/

| Winpooch is a watchdog for Windows (2000, XP and above). It detects modifications in your system, so as to detect a trojan or a spyware installation. Set your own security level for anti-spyware, anti-trojan, firewall, antivirus (need ClamWin installed) |
Seems interesting enough ...and it's still gets development ...

| Winpooch is a watchdog for Windows that helps you increase the security of your computer. Winpooch can prevent suspicious programs from doing dangerous actions such as writing to system directories or sensible registry keys. It acts as a powerful anti spyware and anti trojans, and if you have ClamWin installed, you can tell Winpooch to scan every program before it runs. This new release provide a cache for antivirus, this prevents from scanning the same file several times and thus increase the computer speed. It also contains many bug fixes. |
Now this cache thing looks very interesting ... But probably only works with ClamWin, wouldn't this improve the performance of your computer to (think about Mcafee and it's on-access scan scanning your drive up and down) ... Or will it not make much of a difference ...
After I install VMWare tonight, I'll be installing this on a testmachine and let you guys know what's it like, unless someone beats me to it (with all my promises lately
) I need to catch up
