Product Description:

The power of multiple programs without the bloat of a security suite. Clean up your Taskbar, ActiveX, Brower and Startup programs. WinPatrol monitors and exposes adware, keyloggers, spyware, worms, cookies, and other malicious software. This program puts you back in control of your computer with no need for constant updates. WinPatrol's goal is to help you better understand what programs are running on your computer and to alert you to any new programs added without your permission. Unlike traditional security programs, WinPatrol doesn't scan your hard drive searching for previously identified threats. Instead, it uses a heuristic behavioral approach, taking a snapshot of your critical system resources, then alerting you to any changes that occur without your knowledge. Version 16.1.2009.1 detects if other programs are monitoring HOSTs and some other system files to prevent conflicts, adds support for Accessibility Sound Sentry in Vista or greater, and now better handles events that are blocked by User Account Control.

What's new in this version:

In version 17.0.2010, monitoring components rewritten in assembler to increase the speed and compatibility with other security programs. Support for Firefox and Chrome SQLite cookies is added.

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Windows Server 2008

WinPatrol ReviewWin Patrol works! - Version: 12.1.2007.5, 10/2/2007 10:20PM PST

Happy to say that this program does a lot more than I thought it would and even a neolithic man like me can use it. Within 20 minutes of installation it had removed a load of crap programs from my start up (both malicious and defunct) improving my PC performance along the way. Great stuff and wish I'd had it 6 months ago.

Would recommend install WinPatrol on every computer if you want to protect it from malicious attack.

This program is for maybe more advanced users...it lets you choose which things looks supicious and disable them...for me, this is not ideal because I need a program to TELL me what is suspicious and what is malware or spyware. I guess if you know exactly waht you are doing, it could be helpful.
