Available in Pro plan (₹499/year)
How File System Monitoring Works
Our watcher hooks into the Windows kernel to intercept every file operation before it completes.

What Gets Scanned
Every file operation on your system passes through our protection layer.
File Downloads
Every file downloaded from browsers, email clients, or messaging apps is scanned before it reaches your disk.
USB & External Drives
Instantly scans any file accessed from USB drives, SD cards, or external hard drives. Blocks USB-borne malware.
Email Attachments
Scans attachments when saved or opened from Outlook, Thunderbird, or webmail. Catches phishing payloads.
File Modifications
Monitors file content changes. Catches ransomware encrypting documents in real-time before damage spreads.
Program Execution
Every .exe, .dll, .bat, .ps1 is verified before execution. Prevents malicious code from running.
Archive Extraction
Scans files as they're extracted from ZIP, RAR, 7z archives. No hiding malware inside compressed files.
How Auto-Quarantine Works
When a threat is detected, it's instantly neutralized. No user interaction required.
Threat Detected
File flagged by one or more detection layers.
File Access Blocked
Read/write/execute permissions revoked instantly (<5ms).
Encrypted & Moved
File encrypted with AES-256 and moved to secure quarantine vault.

Proactive vs Reactive Protection
Why real-time monitoring is essential — not just scheduled scans.
✕ Reactive (Scheduled Scans Only)
- Malware can run for hours before next scan
- Ransomware encrypts files between scans
- USB malware spreads immediately on insert
- Downloaded trojans execute before detection
- Data exfiltrated before threat is found
Average time-to-detection: 4–24 hours
✓ Proactive (SentinelX Real-Time)
- Threats blocked before execution
- Ransomware stopped at first file rename
- USB files scanned on first access
- Downloads checked before saving to disk
- Zero data loss — threat neutralized instantly
Average time-to-detection: <5 milliseconds
Real-World Use Cases
USB Drive from a Friend
Your friend's USB has a hidden autorun virus. The moment you plug it in, SentinelX blocks the autorun and quarantines the malware — before you even open the drive.
Phishing Email Attachment
You receive an "invoice" from a fake vendor. When you save or open the .xlsx file with macros, SentinelX detects the embedded payload and blocks execution.
Drive-By Download
A compromised ad network serves malicious JavaScript that downloads a trojan. SentinelX catches it the instant the file is written to disk — before execution.
