I was surprised someone else other then myself happened on this little alert app.

When i tried it a couple of months ago i was really hopeful that this standalone type registry monitor could be added to my defense strategy.

On my windows 8 x64 it started out looking ok but i quickly discovered it was severely buggy in that it won't alert sometimes if at all and after adding personally selected registry keys it failed to alert on them at all after testing.

Shame really because it looked to have some usefulness at first and the alert GUI is pretty nice.

I emailed the developer but never got any return interest to my concern and even cited Wilder's here as a useful reference for him to kick this app around for improving it. I actually installed an older version of it i like best of all but it doesn't have enough muscle to make all coverages you add alert quick enough if at all.
