Complete Winpooch alternative

I have been searching for a long time but haven't found a program which has all of the features of Winpooch, the program which does not work beginning from SP3 of Windows XP. There are some programs I found which have some of the features of winpooch but they always lack something.
The features are:
allow/disallow/prompt read/write to files/folders/registry keys/values
allow/disallow/prompt net connect/send/listen
allow/disallow/prompt execute file/kill process
per application (or application path mask)
using masks for target paths
Please tell me if there is such an application.
But don't suggest "Kaspersky Antivirus" or something like that because those are completely different.

 

It looks like that is a HIPS program. GeSWall, Comodo Defense+, Defensewall, Online Armor Malware Defender. These are all examples of this. Try looking into them.

 

For example, in winpooch I could allow reading of a file or registry entry only to a couple of programs and another file or registry entry only to some other programs. I couldn't find a way to achieve this in any of the listed programs.

 

Try older HIPS (now freeware)

- SSM (some members have a lisence)
- Realtime Defender
- EQ Secure

- Malware Defender will become freeware

see http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/probably-best-free-security-list-world.htm#HIPS

 

SSM lacks some of the features, like "read registry/file restriction"
Both Realtime Defender and EQ Secure are what I wanted but Realtime Defender is somewhat complex to understand how it works and I couldn't get it to do what I need.
But EQ Security - maaan, this utility is perfect for me. Thank you so much!
I tried it in virtual machine, I hope it won't conflict with anything in real machine.

Thank You!

MJ Registry Watcher

MJ Registry Watcher by Graphic Equaliser https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=54666



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. It has very low resource usage, and is set to poll every 30 seconds by default, although you can adjust this to anywhere between 0 and 9999. A configuration file stores all your settings for future use. MJRW not only polls the system, but it also hooks it, so that most changes to keys, files and directories are reported instantaneously. Key deletions are still caught by the polling loop though, since they cannot be hooked. Exactly which keys and files are protected can be completely configured by the user, although the sets I supply with MJRW will cover most standard PCs.
