Only difference is, my application doesn't scan for rootkits. It scans for change. It also used MD5 instead of SHA-1 sums. It builds a local database of your computer. Than it scans those hashes each day - hour. When change is detected, it gets added to a list. In that way you have an overlook of what files have changed with or without the user knowing. That is what my application is meant for. So I understand what you mean, but it's not really the same.
