  • WinPatrol 19.1.2010.1
    * Due to an increased number of illegal versions of WinPatrol being distributed on torrent and keygen sites this version has been enhanced to make it easier for legitimate users to activate their PLUS code. While legitimate users will have easier access, illegal users will be encouraged to upgrade.
    Typical Example of illegal download site

    * HiJackLog updated to show correct description for Windows 7 even thought technically it's reported as version 6.
    * Setup program was fixed to turn off debug mode which created two text files which aren't needed.
  • WinPatrol 19.1
    Fixed problems on Windows 64 bits systems. Not all Startup programs were being detected and displayed. Some programs were also missing Date Detected values which will be initialized on install of this version.
    Default icons are now displayed when no program icon exist.
Still no crapware or toolbars thanks to the support from our friends who upgrade to WinPatrol PLUS.

WinPatrol v19 the "Cloud Edition".

  • What's so special about the WinPatrol Cloud ?

    If "Cloud" sounds stupid and doesn't make sense, think "collaboration". The new version allows everyone in the WinPatrol community to safely share when something new works or doesn't work properly.

    The WinPatrol Cloud Edition is considered a “Software-as-a-Service” version of cloud computing and relies on a collaboration approach to bring a huge value to all everyone in the WinPatrol community. Results detected by individual WinPatrol users are collected so everyone using WinPatrol can share their good and bad experiences.

    Data from the WinPatrol version will benefit both FREE and PLUS users. PLUS

    WinPatrol FREE Features
    One part of the WinPatrol Cloud is a poll where the WinPatrol community of users can provide personal feedback on files that are detected. The poll data will be available to both FREE and PLUS users.

    WinPatrol PLUS Features
    The second part is based on software behavior and actions taken by both WinPatrol FREE and PLUS users. The WinPatrol cloud will track how users handle their decision to handle configuration changes. This information is accumulated continuously and will be available when requesting PLUS Info. It’s like the Millionaire's "Ask the Audience" feature. 
    Action based information is available now and in the future additional information on software behavior will help users decide if a program is worth keeping.

  • Faster Detection PLUS users will notice any changes are detected even quicker than ever.


  • Registry Monitoring Fixed errors monitoring DWord types. Registry monitoring is one of the newest features in WinPatrol and this fix will be useful for many of user provided suggestions.

  • Window Services Our new version also fixes some errors in updating Windows Services. When Services were first added to WinPatrol they were a brand new concept but now make up most of the resident programs running on your system.

    What is Cloud Computing?

    No need to Uninstall previous versions. Install the new WinPatrol in the same folder as your current version.

    NOTE: At this time, WinPatrol 19 has not been fully tested with Windows 98/ME/2K. This does not indication of loss of support. We will address any problems reported as soon as possible.

Not just a Single Program, yet not a bloated Security Suite.
WinPatrol.exe

A robust System Monitor, WinPatrol.exe will alert users to malware attacks, hijackings and critical changes made to a computer without their permission. WinPatrol PLUS includes our unique R.I.D. technology which works much differently than other similar programs.

This tiny program runs in the background without slowing you down. Scotty works and plays well with others so you won't find conflicts with other security based programs. WinPatrol was developed in Microsoft "C" and Assembler to stay small and fast.

 

WinPatrolEx.exe

As a Multi-Purpose Educational, Support Utility WinPatrol replaces multiple system utilities with its enhanced functionality. You'll no longer need programs like MSConfig or Services.msc.

WinPatrol PLUS provides easy to understand descriptions of over 30,000 programs. This easy to use interface allows you to tweak your system and make it run at its best performance. If you're at all curious about what's going on inside your computer this component will let you know.

When you click Close to exit our main tabbed interface it leave memory completely leaving only our small WinPatrol.exe monitor.
