All-Seeing Eye : developer page, Fortego Security website: http://www.fortego.com/en/ase.html
Tool for automated diff-style checking of many sensitive system areas that malware and other programs often try to modify silently. Like Tripwire on speed.
Buster Sandbox Analyzer : Buster developer page: http://bsa.isoftware.nl/

WhatChanged : from vtaskstudio.com : http://www.vtaskstudio.com/support.php
WhatChanged is a system utility that scans for modified files and registry entries. It is useful for checking program installations. There are two steps for using WhatChanged:
1) First, take a snapshot to get the current state of the computer; 2) Second, run it again to check the differences since the previous snapshot.
WhatChanged uses the "brute force method" to check files and the registry.
MJ Registry Watcher : from jacobsm.com : http://www.jacobsm.com/mjsoft.htm
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.
Tiny Watcher : by Olivier Lombart developer page: http://kubicle.dcmembers.com/watcher/
The way Tiny Watcher works is pretty simple: basically, it starts by taking a snapshot of important parts of your Windows system; then it tracks changes (every time you log in, or whenever you want to).
