RegistryProt is a 100% free, standalone, compact, low-level realtime
registry monitor and protector, that adds another dimension to Windows
security and intrusion detection. By monitoring important locations and keys
in the Windows system registry, RegistryProt will alert whenever a key is
added or changed, and then give the option of accepting the key change,
reverting back to the original key setting, or deleting the key.
RegistryProt's most useful attribute is that it will detect the vast
majority of trojans at the exact moment that they infect/install themselves
into your system, and as such provides a new dimension in trojan and
intrusion detection.

http://pcusers.org/pcfree.html
Canary is a monitoring and auditing program for Win9x. It can be set to
monitor all activities on a computer such as:
Access to the Internet through MS Internet Explorer and/or Netscape. It
records the URLs accessed, the starting and finishing times when the URLs
were accessed, and the time spent at each URL. It has a pause feature so
that it can be made not to monitor when it doesn't have to. It has a
clandestine option so that it can be made to run silently in the background.
It has a logoff/shutdown option to stop people who try to close down Canary
when they are not supposed to. It can be launched automatically when Windows is launched, so it can be made to work all the time that Windows is running.
