I just monitored the installation of Secure-It with InControl 5 and RegMon, it did what it says it does, altered a load of keys and added some values. I like both these freeware programs, no need for PivX QwikFix Pro any longer. If anyone is going to use RegMon you will want to turn off MSAntispyware first - too much chatter.
