Alert users to changes to launch objects for malware detection

Due to the stream of malware for OS X news recently, I was thinking of ways it might be useful to monitor for zero day exploits and came across a CNET article about monitoring folders like Library/LaunchAgents and /Library/LaunchDaemons which then pointed to CIRCL making an easy to edit and install application that does exactly that.

Just wanted to share. You can edit the text of what is displayed by going into the App package and changing the actual AppleScript being run. Not useful for all environments but for those who empower there own users to be vigilant, this might be something that could be used to help users to monitor for malware on there Mac.
