WinPatrol 30.0.2014.0

Sniffs out Worms, Trojan horses, Cookies, Adware, Spyware and more

WinPatrol will alert you to Spyware, Adware, & nasty programs that may infiltrate your computer without your knowledge.

Scotty the Windows Watch Dog sniffs out malicious "mysteryware" and parasites that may assault your computer. WinPatrol puts you back in control of your computer so you'll know what programs are and should be running at all times. WinPatrol is a security tool that protect you from worms, trojan, cookies, adware, spyware.

WinPatrol's goal is to help you better understand what programs are running on your computer, and alert you to any new programs added without your permission. Scotty lets you confirm any new programs set up to run on your computer.

WinPatrol uses a heuristic approach to detecting attacks and violations of your computing environment. Traditional security programs scan your hard drive searching for previously identified threats. 

WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge. You'll be removing dangerous new programs while others download new reference files.

Don't be surprised when you see programs not listed by typical Startup Program managers. WinPatrol has expanded the number of locations monitored to include many undocumented registry locations.

NOTE: While the free version is fully functional at detecting and removing spyware/adware we recommend WinPatrol PLUS for a complete WinPatrol experience. PLUS membership is a one time purchase and helps to support future development.

• Best Performance Yet:
• While the time has come to improve the look of WinPatrol it was still more important to optimize portions of the WinPatrol real-time monitor. It's clear that many older machines are still providing a service even if they have a single core CPU and minimal memory.
• Many common system checks that we previously read from the Windows registry are now stored in WinPatrol's local memory and updated only if needed. This not only saves CPU cycles but it also saves our disc access. Other programs may rely on third-party software libraries but we still maintain complete control over every instruction executed by WinPatrol to detect changes. Users with programs like Process Explorer will see the improvement immediately.
• Reports:
• The WinPatrol report and Hijack report have also been updated to be more useful. Since internally Windows 7 and Windows 8 are still considered Windows version 6 we've made sure to do the proper conversion letting reports accurately provide version ...
