WinPatrol29.1.2013.1

WinPatrol will alert you to Spyware, Adware and nasty programs that may infiltrate your computer without your knowledge. WinPatrol enables users to clean up your Taskbar, ActiveX, Browser and Startup programs. Besides, WinPatrol monitors and exposes adware, keyloggers, spyware, worms, cookies, and other malicious software. This program puts you back in control of your computer with no need for constant updates. 

WinPatrol is well-designed to help you better understand what programs are running on your computer and to alert you to any new programs added without your permission. The program scans your system, using heuristics, for evidences of hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without permission.

What's New

Version 29.1.2013.1

Quick Fixes
  • Fixed false warnings about changes to Windows AutoUpdate status
  • Reduced warnings of daily Microsoft updates that created Uninstall warnings
Artificial Intelligence Security
  • This new feature will increase WinPatrol's value exponentially over time. It will also be accessible for our future apps like Task Catcher "Extreme" and other partners interested in licensing the technology. Unlike the Optional sharing of choices used on our Community Info pages, all A.I. Security data is kept private on your machine.
  • Phase 2 including focus groups and beta testing of Task Catcher Extreme will be restricted to current Task Catcher customers and/or BillP Studio Associates who agree to a strict NDA.
  • Our WinPatrol-powered A.I.S. provides the 3rd generation of innovations created by BillP Studios to detect and stop dangerous new threats without crippling your computer.
  • We believe a passive approach can still be used to detect and shut down instant attacks like Cryptolocker. We're seeing a trend in threats that remain in memory instead of becoming resident in the Windows registry or hard drive. These attacks will not be detected by most traditional Anti-Virus programs.
Improvements and Bug Reports
  • Semi-Transparent Alert messages available on Windows 8 make Scotty less intrusive.
  • Manifest file updated to support presistant WinPatrol window size and positions when using alternate DPI settings.
  • Improvements to our Active Task List and more success Killing of active tasks using multi-selection standards.
  • Introduction of new triggers to increase performance by reducing redundant monitoring(PLUS Only)
  • Improved performance of change detection on our free version.
  • Improved screen UI and description when a change is detected for the Windows Update settings.
  • ( Did you know WinPatrol monitored changes to the Windows Update? )
  • The default setting for File Explorer integration is now disabled. It's been pointed out that a large number of programs taking advantage of the right-click context menu wthout asking. We also don't want to seem like we're nagging users to upgrade to WinPatrol PLUS.
