Protects your Windows registry with NoVirusThanks Registry Guard

     An interesting tool to monitor and avoid changes

For obvious reasons, the Windows registry is a priority target for any variant of malware. A fairly common way of ensuring that they stay inside the computer is by inserting strings and commands in the deepest corners, and even some digital bugs have the ability to deactivate the editor, making it difficult to remove them. The operating system does not provide resources to monitor low-level changes in the registry, but NoVirusThanks Registry Guard automatically generates an activity log, and blocks certain actions that may be considered suspicious.

For years, the Windows Registry has been an unpopular labyrinth that separates men from children at the time of maintenance. While most programs optimized their "discipline" in creating and removing strings, it would be crazy to ask for something similar to malware, whose basic goals are to stay as long as possible on the computer, and take the first opportunity to Spread their content. There are many technicians and engineers who see the exclusive execution of code signed as a final solution to harmful issues and other security problems, but until that takes on a more solid appearance (say, with new operating systems), we need to monitor Near the registry, and that's when NoVirusThanks Registry Guard intervenes.

                7-Zip and CCleaner are trusted programs, but these changes remain hidden to the user anyway


This software implements a series of rules designed to limit the creation, reading, writing and deletion of both strings and values in certain sections of the Windows Registry. Technically it is possible to edit and / or expand the rules, but it is an advanced manual process that demands a careful study of the existing examples. Personally I see a lot more valuable to real-time log reporting on recent registry changes. The developer of NoVirusThanks Registry Guard recommends temporarily disabling the software if we are going to install new applications, however, leaving the logging enabled will know well the behavior of some installers


I am the first to admit it: NoVirusThanks Registry Guard is not intended for the novice user. If there is something in the log that we do not like, the next step is to manually edit the registry, and that's when many throw out the towel. On the other hand ... there are terminals in which a dose of paranoia is always good, and the last events in computer security justify that point of view.
