Winpooch is a free and open source program that detects and blocks spyware from computers running Microsoft Windows. It also detects trojans and can associate with the ClamWin antivirus software to provide real-time protection.
As of version 0.6.0, kernel mode hooking has been implemented through a kernel mode driver, allowing Winpooch to monitor the Windows kernel and system services. It was however notorious for causing Blue Screens of Death until the release of version 0.6.2, which mostly fixed these issues.
