System Protection

In addition to the "HOSTS File Monitor," SpyHunter 5 also offers an option to protect other Windows system files from unauthorized modification.

To activate this functionality, select the "Activate System Protection" (2) checkbox from the "Network" tab in SpyHunter 5's "Settings."

SpyHunter 5 will now protect certain key system files, such as win.ini and system.ini, from unauthorized modification.

When SpyHunter 5 detects a modification in a protected system file, it will alert you with a dialog window, displayed below, where you will have the option to accept the changes or restore the previous version of the file via the "Accept" (1) and "Restore" (2) buttons.
