Winpooch is a Windows watchdog. By adding this free watchdog, you increase the safety of your anti-virus. It detects spyware and trojans as soon as they are installed in you computer.
The Windows watchdog scans system directories and the registry in real time, and uses very few process resources. After being attacked by some vicious programs such as a trojan or spyware, the idea to develop a kind of anti-furtive-attack raised. The problem with that kind of virus is to detect "that it has attacked the machine". Some nice firewall or virus protection programs are efficient, but there are not always free.
So here is a nice and simple watchdog that will take care of your machine´s system. Winpooch only scans some specific directories and registry key. The team is adding features thanks to some users requests.
FreewareFiles tested Winpooch 0.6.6 on 2007-04-24 using leading
antivirus scanners and found it 100% Clean. It does not contain any form
of malware, spyware, viruses, trojans, etc. We will re-test each updated
version and remove the award as well as the program if found infected.
