CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This application provides a real-time monitoring utility to keep your system in top performance, but its short trial period may not be enough time for novice users to explore all its options.
WinFortress features a skinnable interface that is relatively easy to use. The program allows you to easily delete, disable, or kill a process running on your system with a click of a button. You also can view detailed information regarding specific processes or services online through such popular search engines as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. The graphic displays of file and registry usage histories are nice touches, as is the auto-protect feature for the system registry and files.
Advanced users will appreciate the Sandbox feature to add a program to monitor changes and the Antispy feature to auto-detect spyware--both of which were very effective. The stingy five-day trial leaves little time for novice users, since all of the options may leave them a bit overwhelmed. Nonetheless, users willing to invest in a reliable and efficient monitoring tool will find this application more than adequate.
Publisher's description
From OreWare :WinFortress helps you to detect, identify and destroy viruses, spyware, malware, keyloggers, Trojans and adware on your computer. You are alerted by WinFortress about registry or file system changes. Unlike other anti-spyware programs WinFortress does not scan your drive or registry. Unlike other software that notifies you about changes that are already taking place in your system, Winfortress provides you are with ability to deny the registry or file system changes before they are performed. Built on .NET technology WinFortess uses heuristic approach in detecting vulnerable software. Now you can monitor all your system activity and deny any file or registry key/value creation for any program. WinFortress main features System Services list, Startup List, Internet Explorer plug-ins List, One click process termination, System Resources Monitor, Registry Monitor, and File Monitor.
Version 2.3 improves interface.

Version: WinFortress 2.3
"Don't waste yur money on this"
Cons: On top of making you install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to use it, it is not free. Try these free ones instead of paying..Ad-Aware, A-Squared, Spybot, Advanced Spyware Removal, Spyware Begone, Spyware Blaster, Spyware Terminator, Yahoo AntySpyware, and of course Windows Defender,(Microsoft AntySpywae Beta)
