Microsoft Ships New Malware Hunting Utility

Well, it hasn’t been long since Microsoft plunked down cash for the site Sysinternals. Now, after having relaunched the site on Monday are putting out a new utility called Process Monitor.

Russinovich, a respected Windows kernel guru who joined the Redmond, Wash. vendor as a Technical Fellow in the Platforms and Services Division, describes Process Monitor as “a powerful new monitoring tool that is best described as Regmon and Filemon on steroids.”

Regmon and Filemon are hugely popular among virus and spyware researchers who use the real-time file and registry monitoring tools to determine changes made to an infected operating system.

The new Process Monitor, which was rewritten from scratch, will also include a third utility called Process Explorer in a single interface.
