WinPatrol monitors your computer and does not allow applications to simply add themselves to the startup menu or associate files to themselves. Everything is caught by winpatrol. It then asks if you agree to what modifications are being done or not.

    Scotty the watch dog is loyal as a dog can be. I have the paid version and this application(Scotty) alerts me whenever updates attempt to re enable start up functions that I don't want running in the back ground. Scotty also guards the registry and prevents changes to it without your consent. There is a host of other features too that will help to make your system more secure in both the free and paid versions.

    The Full Version (shareware) is doing the job great, but the 'Freeware' version is totally useless. The delay built into the freeware version (to induce you yo buy the Full version) causes the warning come too late - the malware is already installed.
    I use RegProt', which is free, works like a charm, and is tiny, so uses very little resources.

    Garbage
    Leaves all kind of crap on uninstall.
    Should be portable.

    Great program that keeps an eye on what's happening & uses few resources.
