WinPatrol 9.5
Real-time Infiltration Detection!
WinPatrol 9.5 brings expanded features to the benefit of
both free and PLUS members who have long supported our
program. PLUS members will now enjoy real-time alerts when
critical changes are made. Our free WinPatrol now comes
pre-packaged with PLUS information on the most common PLUS
knowledgebase requests.
Real-time Infiltration Detection (PLUS)
WinPatrol users have long debated the need for optimal
system performance versus quick detection of mystery
programs. Traditional methods of real-time detection have
the problem in their use of system resources. On some
systems, real-time detection can impact system performance
more than the adware they protect against.
We've created new conditional based methodology that will
allow WinPatrol to detect registry changes that occur when
new programs are introduced. Manually editing the registry
or changing program options may not trigger a WinPatrol
alert but infiltrations by 3rd party programs will. This
way you'll enjoy optimal performance during your normal
computing tasks but Scotty will still wake up when
significant changes have been made.
Local Access to Program Information
WinPatrol setup now installs some of the most commonly
requested programs from our database. Internet access may
not always be needed to access program information and
even free users will have access to common data.
Improved HOSTS and System File Restoration
We have improved handling of the Internet HOSTS file and
other critical system files. When WinPatrol is first
installed we'll create a copy of your HOSTS file and other
system files like autoexec.bat, config.sys and boot.ini.
If any changes are made you can use WinPatrol to restore
your original files. As we see more root kit infiltrations
we'll be increasing the number and types of systems files
we'll be protecting. You may also notice we've removed the
Lock HOSTS file checkbox because this protection may have
been misleading and often interferes with other
AntiSpyware programs.
Bug Fixes and minor enhancements
Fixed missing text in Startup alert dialog
Added ability to select a program anywhere on listbox, not
just under title
Improved detection of Mozilla cookie folder
Info... button will appear in bold text to indicate a Note
is available
Sorting Startup Programs now keeps Disabled items at the
end of the list.
9.5.0.1
Fixed check box to turn on R.I.D for file types
Fixed small memory leak that occured when certain other
