Does the WinPatrol Plus "Real-time Infiltration Detection" feature detect the malicious creation of an Autostart registry entry that contains javascript instead of file references; i.e., fileless persistent malware such as certain versions of Poweliks and Phase Bot?

I welcome responses containing factually supported answers of the question asked.

Hi, fileless1.  Welcome to LandzDown Forum.

If you haven't seen it, information regarding the "Real-time Infiltration Detection" feature in WinPatrol PLUS is available here:  http://www.winpatrol.com/rid.html  All of the startup files listed are either .exe or .dll files.  I do not know if WinPatrol PLUS has been tested against an encoded autostart registry key.

Interesting :)

Maybe we can get some input from Bret, or ( forgive me, as I am a longtime user ) Bill here ?
