The way Tiny Watcher works is pretty simple: basically, it starts by taking a snapshot of important parts of your Windows system; then it tracks changes (every time you log in, or whenever you want to). When a change is detected, you are notified. For example, you will be notified if a program puts itself in the startup lists of your machine, or if files are modified/created in your Windows directory, etc. Tiny Watcher has been designed to work discreetly. You will barely notice it at logon time: the about box shows for less than 5 seconds, and a progression gauge displays briefly. Both of these windows being optional, Tiny Watcher can run completely silent. Most of the time, you will just forget that it's here. When a suspicious item is detected, however, you will be informed about it. You will be able to decide what to do about it (some items can be disabled or removed right away).
