registry entries

Hi and thanks for your time;

I have a question that may be of interest to some,

All the so called spyware remover programs that are on
the market outrightly tell you that they will remove or
find most tracking software that is installed on a
computer.

Even the testers at PC world and the evaluators of these
programs will tell you that the progams will not catch
all trojans and spyware.

I think there are a lot of people that are really tired
of trying all sorts of these so called security programs
and still remain doubtfull as to the security of thier
information.

The question that I would like to ask anyone who would
know how to do this is-----

Would it be possible to with a fresh installation of an
opperating system to color all the registry entries lets
say the color (blue) and all the subsiquent entries of
programs that the user wishes to install as well,

So that when the user has been browsing for a while the
user can simply look at the registry and delete any
enties that are not the right color.

I seems to me that this would be fool proof way to catch
anything that is not suppose to be on a users machine
unwanted.

Any comments?

Thanks again for your time Dick

Hi

E.g. the Reg Organizer program can monitor changes of
specific registry keys.
