WinPatrol WAR v 2017.5.720
Blocks Ransomware, Malware and Zero-Day Threats
Please use our Fast Start Guide to help you install, configure and test WinPatrol WAR to ensure it is working properly. Update of Fast Start Guide is currently in progress.
- Fixed bug that resulted in WinPatrol WAR using excessive CPU on some computers.
- The “Allow” button now immediately allows the currently running program to continue.
