What's New?

    According to eWeek.com WinPatrol is one of the 10 Free Must-Have Security Tools. “This ultimate watchdog program monitors Windows computers for signs of malicious hacker activity”. The new WinPatrol 2008 continues to be the swiss army knife of Window utilities with the addition of its ActiveX manager.

    It seems like every week more problems are reported in Quicktime, RealPlayer, Adobe Flash, Sun’s Java or other 3rd party controls. Once the vulnerability is known the risk increases exponentially until a patch is available. WinPatrol 2008 takes the worry out of waiting for a patch to become available. When a vulnerability is found Scotty will let you disable or set the “kill-bit” on the appropriate control until a new one is made available.

    WinPatrol will also monitor your system and let you know when new ActiveX components try to make their home on your system. If it’s not something you wanted WinPatrol will kill the new component before it can do any damage.

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. UnInstalling your current version will not affect your settings and isn't required. Uninstalling the current version using Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel will keep things neat and tidy.
