PA File Sight 3.6
 |
PA File Sight will help you determine who is reading from and writing to important files. It can tell you when a new file is created or renamed. And, when a file gets deleted, PA File Sight can tell you who deleted the file. Plus, you can often find out what program was used to perform the action. |
Besides file access notification and logging actions, the Pro Edition helps you further by providing reports to help see what happened in the past, whether you were notified about it or not.
