My system doesn't change frequently. I generally just keep my currently installed software patched and current. There are exceptions of course but now that I have locked down my PC and have it configured like I want it I like to just maintain.
Can you use MZWriteScanner on it's own to alert you when an exe/dll/sys file is dropped on your drive? Do you have a screenshot? I'm quite curious about this now!
I do have a peak in my Windows firewall logs from time to time using the excellent "Connection Log" in WFC. I like to have granular control of my machine and also like to know what is going on with it. I hate to be in the dark regarding these things!
Am I correct in saying that MZWriteScanner will only alert me when a NEW exe/dll/sys file is saved onto the hard drive? ie: existing exe/dll/sys files are ignored
Do you have a link for NoVirusThanks product that does the same thing? I was looking in but wasn't sure which one you were referring to:
NoVirusThanks Free Tools
My reason for the interest in MZWriteScanner is, I would like to know when a malicous exe/dll/sys file has landed on my hard drive even if it hasn't been executed yet (from a drive by download for example).
