It copies all files that were modified and some files that are being deleted to a C:\Windows\Scavenger\ directory.
- IMPORTANT
It was initially developed to familiarize myself with a mini-filter driver and unlikely to have any notable advantages over using other open source tools such as Cockoo Sandbox or Capture-BAT.
It is also rather incomplete as it does not handle FILE_DELETE_ON_CLOSE events. For more comprehensive code, refer to the Delete File System Minifilter Driver sample.

Then:
- Extract the zip file and deploy appropriate version of files onto a target system.
- On the target system, execute install.bat with the administrator privilege.
On the x64 bit platform, you have to enable test signing to install the driver. To do that, open the command prompt with the administrator privilege and type the following command, and then reboot the system to activate the change.
bcdedit /set {current} testsigning on
To uninstall the program, execute uninstall.bat with the administrator privilege.
Alternatively, you can use a DrvLoader with a -F option on command prompt with the administrator privilege.
Once you have installed it, you should see output logs on DebugView and saved files under the C:\Windows\Scavenger\ directory.
- It does not handle:
- a file whose size is zero or larger than 4GB, or
- any of operations done by a system thread.
- Windows 7 SP1 and 8.1 (x86/x64)
