An excellent tiny program 5 stars by epopuI Nov 25, 2006
Tiny Watcher is an excellent tiny program that keeps a watch on areas in the registry and notifies you if files get changed. Use the post install to see changes made after a new programs been installed or after Windows update etc. Set it to run at startup time for info on changes made since last start. Very useful and very easy to use, very quick and informative. showShow review details
Excellent security *insurance* 5 stars by bellgamin Jan 17, 2006 (Read all my 11 reviews)
Watcher is a category of security program known as a "file integrity checker*. It uses a complex algorithm to calculate a checksum for each file it protects. If even one bit (1/8th of a byte) of a protected program is changed, Watcher will detect it and report it to you. This type of protection is excellent for spotting malware that is so new that signatures do not yet exist to detect it. When Watcher reports a change, it gives you options to examine the file, accept the change, or deny it, or exempt that file from future checking. It doesn't take an expert to be able to decide if a given file change is suspicious or not. The protected files are of the type that generally should never be changed without some action on your part to CAUSE the change (such as a download or update). Thus, a modified file (whereof you have no recollection of having caused such a change) should be regarded as highly suspicious. showShow review details
