ACLSweep for Windows XP/2003

Computers regularly create, delete, and modify important system items such as files, folders, and registry keys. All of these items are protected with individual security settings to defend against accidental or unauthorized access. These settings must be properly monitored and managed in order to be effective; However, it can be very complex and confusing for many users. Neglected settings can lead to various issues that are frequently not noticed until after issues occur, such as security vulnerabilities, degraded performance, corruption, and system instability.
This situation is further complicated by day-to-day operations including installing and uninstalling, applying patches, copying files between computers and even running some applications. These actions can sometimes make changes to settings without notifying the user. As a result, the access may be completely different from the user or system administrator who originally set it, potentially allowing unwanted access. Numerous hurdles and frequent changes often lead to security settings being discarded or completely ignored.
As computers are more interconnected across the Internet, firewalls have more open ports and hackers are finding more creative ways to avoid intrusion detection systems and malware scanners. The result is that systems are more vulnerable and more vulnerable to malicious or even accidental access. Paying attention to managing and controlling computer security is becoming more and more important every day.
ACLSweep scans settings for lockable items and can fix common issues that can cause security access issues that would otherwise be difficult to detect and could be harmful to the system, data, or users. Scans can be configured to create logs only, fix problems automatically, or set changes to pending and apply as needed. Other scan types provide a simple way to replace security identifiers and easily analyze or compare effective access. Flexible undo capabilities allow any changes to be safely rolled back.
