Windows Software | WinPatrol PLUS 20.5.2011.0 | 1.01 Mb

WinPatrol was the pioneer in using a heuristic behavioral approach to detecting attacks and violations of your computing environment. It continues to be the most powerful system monitor for its small memory footprint. WinPatrols easy tabbed interface allows you to explore deep inside your computer without having to be a computer expert. A one time investment in WinPatrol PLUS provides a unique experience you wont find in any other software.

As a robust SECURITY MONITOR , WinPatrol will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission. WinPatrol PLUS includes our unique R.I.D. technology. As a MULTI PURPOSE SUPPORT UTILITY WinPatrol replaces multiple system utilities with its enhanced functionality.

WinPatrol allows you to get a better understanding of what programs are being added to your computer. It monitors important system areas that are commonly altered by many malicious programs. This includes the startup groups (registry and startup folder), cookies and active tasks. You can terminate processes and enable or disable startup programs. The cookie monitoring option allows you to automatically delete cookies based on a keyword found in the cookie name. Additional features include a WHOIS lookup tool and an option to alert you on changes. WinPatrol is easy to understand, yet quiet powerful.

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. Youll be removing dangerous new programs while others prepare to update their definition/signature data files.

WinPatrol is NOT:
1. Likely to conflict with other security programs you rely on.
2. A huge drain on your system resources or performance.
3. A yearly subscription or program only designed to help if you pay to upgrade.
4. A signature based system that relies on already identified threats.
5. A program that will update itself automatically without your knowledge.
6. Going to connect to the internet unless you explicitly request info.
7. Going to install any addition crap or toolbars on your system.

Supports Window XP, Vista, Windows 7 including x64 support.

Whats New with Version WinPatrol 20.5:
This version fixes a number of long time requests and resolves many of the quirks WinPatrol is forced to deal with on Windows 64 bit systems.Given the increase in 64 bit systems, I have started to focus on a 64 bit native build of WinPatrol. This will allow me to fully support 64 bit users and still provide new features for non 64 bit users. Ironically, the initial results will be more features for non 64 bit users but 64 bit users will be provided better stability and compatibility with other low level programs.
Firefox Cookies. Firefox 4.0 uses an updated version of the SQLite database library which included features not supported by WinPatrol. Weve updated our SQLite code to support Firefox 4.0 users.
Duplicate WinPatrols. Some 64 bit users reported duplicate WinPatrol entries in the startup programs list. This has been fixed. Ive also updated the check box on the Options tab so you can initialization how WinPatrol is set to start.
Provided Cloud Privacy Option. While Im satisfied with our implemenation of data collected when you keep or remove a program many of your friends using WinPatrol are obviously concerned about privacy. You may uncheck the option to share decisions. This may also reduce complaints by Firewall programs. Most firewall programs are happy as long as you let them know that WinPatrol.exe and WinPatrolEx.exe are safe. Even if you dont participate in sharing your choices, PLUS members will still have useful Cloud data available when checking PLUS Info.
X64 Run Duplicates. Reduced confusion when applications included their RUN registry in both the WOW64 key and legacy RUN key. Both entries will be displayed when Display Secret Startup locations is checked.
First Detected Sort. I finally fixed a long time bug in how Startup Programs are sorted. I apoligize that more date for formats are not supported at this time. I know this is important to friends outside the U.S. but security features have taken priority.
User Interface. Some fonts have been tweaked to make sure all information is available.
Digital Signiture. Updated Code Signing Digitial Signiture v3 now valid until June 2012
