hello,

does anyone hear about the Open Sourced Winpooch (http://winpooch.free.fr/home/index.php?lang=0&page=1) ?


Winpooch is a Windows watchdog, free and open source. Anti spyware and anti trojan, it gives a full protection against local or external attacks by scanning the activity of programs in real time. Associated with ClamWin antivirus, Winpooch keeps safe your computer against virus.

Winpooch uses the API Hooking method. It spies programs when they are running and gives to the user a powerful control of their activity.For example, you can forbide a program to write in a system directory or in the registry, or else to connect to internet. That makes the difference between others anti spywares using a database of known signatures.

Seems interesting to compare with Spybot teaTimer, plus is open source, so can bring something to spybot...? :p
