WatchDog is background memory checker. Time between checks is adjusted automagically somewhere between 5 and 10 seconds. Memory test is also performed just after watching about requester (take a look at Tools menu on WB). Just take a look at the icon and be aware of the fact that some of these ToolTypes are debug only and might be removed in future...

Currently WatchDog is controlled by ToolTypes in it's icon. You can expect that WatchDog: Checks memory for known viruses with xvs.library. Controlls memory with loads of internal routines. Keeps notification over S:startup-sequence. Keeps notification over S:user-startup. Requirements: AmigaOS 2.0 or newer Xvs.library v33.45 or higher - VERY IMPORTANT

Memory removals of known viruses are based on xvs.library and nothing more can be said about that, due to the programsinternal routines.
