should i use a realtime registry guard like regdefend as well as a "polling".....

i was wondering, should i use a realtime registry guard like regdefend as well as a "polling"registry app like regrun? i have a trial of regdefend, and though i dont really know how it works, i like the idea of protection at the registry level, though i use also process guard, nod32, ewido, and some others. i also have a trial of regrun gold, and it looks like a unique and complex program- i had it installed, but had to uninstall, because some things i installed after it didnt run at startup as they should (i think this is a configuration problem, though i couldnt see where to make changes to allowances of what starts at system startup). what are you guys' thoughts on this?

thanks in advance

 

MJRegWatch is a poller. Free. Its polling interval can be set so doggone fast that it is very likely (NOT certain) that it will stop a registry change before it has time to hurt anything. MJRegWatcher is a gutsy little Terrier. He will grab a crook just as soon as he opens your front door.

RegDefender is a full-time, real-time, pissed-off Rottweiler. He ain't free (well, not exactly). A crook won't make it to your front door. Rotty will geld the b*st*rd the instant he sets foot in your yard.

If you are paranoid, buy the Rottweiler. Otherwise... use the Terrier; save a few bux. But get one or the other -- I can't conceive of any need for both.

 

You need to know that the latest Regrun v4.6 does not poll for changes. The new Kernel system driver regguard.sys intercepts the changes before they are made. Take a look and read up on it.

regrun still polls for changes as usual. all the regguard driver does is block registry changes, at least when i tried it. i never received any alerts or prompts.

 

How odd! Worked on mine...
