Anyone here heard of: "Fortego All-Seeing Eye"

Anyone ever heard of the program:
"All-Seeing Eye" by Fortego?

It's a proactive IDS that monitors: Auto Exe, DLLs, Registry, etc.

If anyone has ever tried this before, how effective is it, and how much resource does it eat up?

The first difference is that All-Seeing Eye is not actively preventing actions from taking place in your computer,

Which is why IDS is inferior to IDPS

and how much resource does it eat up?

I was wondering when you would get around to that

I would suggest that you seriously reconsider your choice of Norton. It is a major resource drain and frequently does not play nice with other security software.

Out of curiosity, what exactly is your hardware?

LOL, I remember back in the day our very first PC was one by AT&T (no joke!), and we were happy to upgrade the EVO ram from 4MB to 16MB, and used the PC as a telephone / answering machine!
It was something like 83MHz and like 20MB of HDD space. XD

Ah! I see, you are running XP on relatively new kit. Resources shouldn't be that much of an issue, but do watch the Norton conflict thing.

Yeah, I would love to build a new system using the new Ivy-Bridge processors coming out this year (2012) and with SSDs... but I don't feel like wasting money on something I really don't need ATM (current rig is good enough for my needs/games).
Now, if I did upgrade, I would probably get Windows-7 64bit.

Not sure how Windows 8 will fare... seems more geared towards tablet PCs IMHO...
