Computer users need a whole team of security applications just to be sure they’re on the safe side. And WinPatrol is actually the missing piece of the security puzzle because it can do so many great things for your computer that you can’t simply live without it.

WinPatrol helps you fight against malicious files by keeping an eye on your data all the time, so you will be sure than no infection has managed to infiltrate into your system.

Installation takes just a few seconds, but what’s more important is the interface that greets the user once he double clicks the desktop shortcuts.

At the first glance, WinPatrol has so many features that you really don’t know which one to click. Features are organized in the main window in tabs, each tab coming with its very own set of options.

First of all, WinPatrol helps you deal with startup programs in a very innovative way. Not only that you’re able to view the processes that run every time you start the computer, but you can also set up delayed starts to be sure it won’t take too much to boot the operating system.

Plus, you can easily manage the running tasks through the dedicated tab, finding out information such as the file size and the module.

Of course, since it’s so important in the fight against malicious files, WinPatrol also lets you manage Internet Explorer or Firefox cookies with a single click. Plus, it provides access to hidden files, as some spyware attempt to hide their files as soon as they reach the computer.

The number of features bundled into WinPatrol is absolutely unbelievable and it’s almost a shock to see such an application being offered for free.

All these considered, it’s almost obvious that WinPatrol is a must have for every computer user out there.

WinPatrol description

What's New in This Release:

· One of the major complaints with the last versions of WinPatrol has been the option to automatically run WinPatrol on startup. We narrowed down the code where Windows 64 was redirecting the location used to auto run WinPatrol. The checkbox found in the Options tab will now maintain its status as it always has. This "Automatically run WinPatrol..." option controls the small monitor component of WinPatrol that detects changes without slowing you down. Most people who had problems will be happy that Scotty will always on patrol again. Many others use the WinPatrol Explorer tabbed interface but have other programs they prefer as a heuristic monitor. This will work tor them as well.

· A number of XP users had reported problems which have been tracked down to the use of newer development tools. While our only XP machine won't accept the SP3 update our XP SP3 emulator is now much happier with this new version.
