MJ Registry Watcher is a simple registry, file and directory hooker/poller, that safeguards the most important startup files, registry keys and values, and other more exotic registry locations commonly attacked by trojans. It has very low resource usage, and is set to poll every 30 seconds by default, although you can adjust this to anywhere between 0 and 9999. A configuration file stores all your settings for future use. MJRW not only polls the system, but it also hooks it, so that most changes to keys, files and directories are reported instantaneously. Key deletions are still caught by the polling loop though, since they cannot be hooked. Exactly which keys and files are protected can be completely configured by the user, although the sets I supply with MJRW will cover most standard PCs. |

Features:
• MJ Registry Watcher monitors your
system for changes to any of the common startup folders and startup
related registry keys, as well as many hidden startup methods and any
other file(s) you want to monitor for changes. It offers several
security presets, ranging from light to highest security, depending on
your personal preference and level of technical expertise.
• Whenever a monitored file or key
is modified, the program will prompt you to confirm the changes, you can
also choose to automatically reject any modifications. The program
includes features to backup selected items, search the list by keyword
and advanced users can also exclude certain files, values or keys from
being monitored.
• There
is an additional automatic registry backup system that takes a snapshot
of the entire registry about every 28 days and stores it in the
directory MJRegBackup. The filename is of the form
MJRegBackup_yyyymmdd.reg where yyyy is the year, mm is the month and dd
is the day. The last 15 snapshots are kept. They can be restored from a
menu option : this can be used in Safe Mode as administrator to rescue a
non-booting PC. It should only be used as a last resort : it saved my PC
when I accidentally knocked out the video drivers during an over-zealous
session in the registry, cleaning out "LogMeIn"!
• Other
features include emailing of alerts and manual quarantining of files and
directories.
