WinPatrol 2011

Welcome to 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.

 

    NEW with WinPatrol 20.5


  • Firefox Cookies
    Firefox 4.0 uses an updated version of the SQLite database library which included features not supported by WinPatrol. We've 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. I've also updated the check box on the Options tab so you can initial how WinPatrol is set to start.

  • Provided Cloud Privacy Option
    While I'm 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 don't 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

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.
