Tiny watcher –A registry monitoring tool

It is a registry monitoring tool. It records a copy or a snap shot of the system registry structure when it run in the system first time.This tool will start working at the time of the start up of the windows each time and makes a comparison with the original one and informs that the changes made while start up.Mean while if you want you can run the program to see if any changes in between. Tiny Watcher will adjust its snapshot automatically.

Tiny Watcher creates a snapshot for several sensitive areas of your system:

• Running processes
• Running processes at logon time
• Startup registry keys
• Services registry keys
• Other sensitive registry keys
• Sensitive directories (c:\, Windows directory, "system32" directory, etc.)
• Other sensitive files
• Scheduled tasks

The first time Tiny Watcher runs (normally right after install), it will create the snapshots for everything but the "running processes at logon time". The snapshot for these will be taken, not so surprisingly, at logon time. Therefore, this happens the next time you log in after having installed Tiny Watcher on your machine.

Unlike the CC cleaner Tiny Watcher is not the right application to clean up a "dirty" machine. However, it is very useful to keep a machine clean.
This would be installed to check whether every thing installed in the system are in order.

When Tiny Watcher detects a difference between your current machine state and what was monitored before.

When the differences are monitored for each item on the list the user can perform one of the following actions: (a) confirm (i.e. the action is OK, remove it from the list), (b) remove (self-explanatory), (c) disable (this option will be available if appropriate, as in the case of enabled drivers or running processes), and (d) volatile, which is to tell Tiny Watcher to consider the item in question to be something akin to a working or temp file or registry entry and to allow and ignore it the next time around. Note: you may get a combination of these or all of them depending on their relevancy to the items found.

Caution:

Tiny Watcher allows you to "disable" or "remove" files and registry entries. Do not use this feature unless you know what you are doing.
Disabling system related items can cause problems to your system; in the worst cases, Windows will refuse to start on the next time you reboot - you might have to reinstall Windows to fix the problem. In a way this is a good news: reinstalling will quite always get you out of trouble. But you will surely waste your time doing so.

Users who understand a bit more how Windows works will probably find by themselves how to re-enable (rename) the missing item (without having to reinstall Windows!).

Limitation:

You should note importantly that it will not prevent your system from being modified or corrupted. It will only tell you that something suspicious happened. Think of it as an early CAT scan against system tumors.

Please don’t grope for any "Fix that for me" button or other magic feature. You have to search the Web like Google by yourself for specific information about a problem, and then do your own cleanup.

Tiny Watcher does not tell you about any change is "normal" one or not.

It is a good tool so that we can monitor any major changes if any.

 

It is a free tool.
