- Enhanced Keylogger Detection
The use of keyloggers for illegal purposes has exploded. A Schenectady man was recently
jailed for up to
three years for felony eavesdropping after putting a keylogger on his wife's computer.
I've heard too many stories of abuse made possible due to keyloggers so it's time for it to stop.
While WinPatrol PLUS had always detected keyloggers we've enhanced this feature and it's
now available to free users so everyone is protected.
- Interactive PLUS code Activation
Unfortunately the number of users depending on illegal PLUS codes has become a problem. While honored by the
worldwide popularity of WinPatrol this could slow down access to PLUS information by our paid supporters.
Our new version will do more to screen out invalid codes. In a few cases, users may find their valid codes
are no longer working correctly. Those affected can write to support @ WinPatrol.com and we'll make sure
they receive the correct code.
- Optimized Detection of New Services
As more and more programs move to the Windows Service model it become apparent that this may be a
popular avenue of attack in the future. The routine used to monitor and detect new Window Services has been optimized to
make this process transparent.
- Decrease CPU Usage and Conflicts
Conflicts with some other registry intense programs may have resulted in abnormally high CPU usage on past versions.
WinPatrol 14 includes some intelligent routines to allow complete protection without fighting over resources with other
security suites and system level programs.
- Default -expressboot option
WinPatrol now includes a -expressboot option which will be used when machines boot up for the first time. This
new feature optimizes boot time and allows other applications to maximize their initialization routines.
- Regular Registry Cleanup
Some registry cleaners have complained that we don't clean up some data stored in the registry quickly enough.
This version will remove information that is no longer needed and "First Detected" information on a regular basic when the file no longer exists.
- Multiple copies of WinPatrol in startup
Occasionally, users have written to let us know they have multiple copies of Scotty in the list of Startup
programs. This version can correct any errors by checking the "Automatically run WinPatrol" box under the Options tab.
Thank you for your support!

Good things to know...
Vista Compatibility
If you're using User Access Control you'll find
opening the main WinPatrol interface will require an additional permission. It's Windows Vista's way of protecting your system
from programs which access critical system locations. You may already have some startup programs which require UAC interaction.
Putting these programs in your Delay Start list will make life with Vista less annoying.
Upgrading from previous WinPatrol version?
We recommend you install this new version in the same folder you're
currently using and preserve your settings. Depending on your current
version, you may need to UnInstall your current version using the
Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel.
