在WIN32下用DELPHI偵測目錄變化，可用WIN32提供的文件改變通知API來完成。FindFirstChangeNotification, FindNextChangeNotification，FindCloseChangeNotification。
在應用程序中調用這些函數時，產生一個監控這個變化的句柄，可用WAIT函數集來等待這個變化。這樣，當監控程序運行時，可以達到監控文件變化的動作。更進一步，可把此程序做成一個狀態區圖標（TRAY）來完成監控。

Windows在刪除、復制、移動、訪問文件時并不發送消息，當然截獲不到。要截取這些操作過程的唯一辦法就是截獲API，這又需要你編寫Vxd程序了，殺毒軟件都是這樣作的。你注意一下殺毒軟件一般都帶有一個vxd程序。光有vxd還不行，還需截獲文件API。還有另外一個辦法，就是CIH病毒采用的辦法，直接跳到系統零層去操作。具體辦法如下：
一、SIDT指令（ 將中斷描述符表寄存器IDTR－－64位寬，16～47Bit存有中斷描述符表IDT基地址－－的內容存入指定地址單元）不是特權指令，就是說我們可以在Ring3下執行該指令，獲得IDT的基地址，從而修改IDT，增加一個中斷門安置我們的中斷服務，一旦Ring3程序中產生此中斷，VMM就會調用此中斷服務程序，而此中斷服務程序就運行在Ring0下了。這一點與在DOS下非常相似。

二、要實現對系統中所有文件I/O操作的實時監視，還要用到另一種關鍵技－FileHooking，通過掛接一個處理函數，截獲所有與文件I/O操作有關的系 統調用。Windows9x使用32位保護模式可安裝文件系統(IFS)，由可安裝文件系統管理器(IFSManager)協調對文件系統和設備的訪問，它接收以Win32API函數調用形式向系統發出的文件I/O請求，再將請求轉給文件系統驅動程序FSD，由它調用低級別的IOS系統實現最終訪問。每個文件I/OAPI調用都有一個特定的FSD函數與之對應，IFSManager負責完成由API到FSD的參數裝配工作，在完成文件I/OAPI函數參數的裝配之后轉相應FSD執行之前，它會調用一個稱為FileSystemApiHookFunction的Hooker函數。通過安裝自己的Hooker函數，就可以截獲系統內所有對文件I/O的API調用，從而實現實時監控。
