From: "Frank Haber" 

I don't know of any live registry monitor I'd trust. Why do I shudder at
side effects of something imaging my hives, checksumming, comparing,
reporting, etc.?  Should be read-only, right?  Well, that's what every live
antispyware program does, and I hate 'em all.  I've seen many of them
running at clients and friends' joints.  They're terrible things,
especially for crispness of response time to the keyboard - the metric to
which I'm most sensitive.  Neil Rubenking's recent PCMag reviews of antispy
programs are probably the best - he's a journalist with honor.  But it's on
these very reviews that I violently disagree with him.  These programs are
POISON for the advanced user. Rubenking probably had a "Dummies"
mandate - protect the damn luser^H^H readers from themselves| this spyware
stuff is taking all the fun away from our target audience, etc.

If I *really* had to know about registry changes, I'd use the
before-and-after snapshots of In Control 5, oddly enough by Rubenking. 
It's not free any more. (I think Ziff is $5 for a one-shot DL, $20 for a
year.)

(Second-hand report from a friend I respect: "Tea Timer was horrible.
It's better now, but not great.")
