SpyMe Tools v1.5.0

  • Suggested by JohnW

SpyMe Tools helps detect changes to the filesystem and registry by taking "before" and "after" snapshots of the system and write them to dump files. The content of these dump files can be visually displayed, or two of them can be compared for differences to determine what has changed. SpyMe Tools also includes a real-time registry monitor that you can use to determine the registry access characteristics of any application.

I gave this app a shot, but I don't think I will be replacing RegShot anytime soon. Problem is SpyMe Tools only work with either the registry or the filesystem at any one time, not both at the same time. In addition, the diff view, though pretty, is not as concise and functional as RegShot's text/HTML output.

it's a hidden spyware in a spyware software detection????

"madchook.dll is a library file that is responsible for implementing main parasite functions and running its destructive payload. The madchook.dll file cannot run by itself and therefore needs to be loaded with the help of some executable files. However, certain parasites reconfigures the operating system or installs madchook.dll as a plugin, so that the system or certain applications automatically load it on startup..."

@papoo: Software that can be used in legitimate applications can also be used in malware. This is why the author of the madCHook.dll stopped making it available to anyone:

Why Reboot? v1.0.1.537

WhyReboot displays the list of pending file operations that will occur after rebooting your computer. It helps to determine the extent of any post-reboot changes made by an installer. It helps you decide whether you need to reboot your machine or not after installing/uninstalling an application.

ABK SecureSys v1.1

ABK SecureSys allows you to tweak various system-related settings, including those related to IE or security. The user interface is one of the cheesiest I have ever seen. In the contributor's own words: "the interface is not very nice". But hey, it gets the job done, and sometimes that's all that is needed.

AutoStreamer v1.0.33 New

Checker on 2 May 2013

AutoStreamer is a easy and quick slipstreamer, or way to create a single bootable installation CD that will install the base OS with the latest service pack at one go. Slipstreaming used to be a delicate and tedious process that involves a lot of steps, making the task easy for the end-user.
