WinPatrol's Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge. WinPatrol was the pioneer in using a heuristic behavioral approach to detecting attacks and violations of your computing environment. It continues to be the most powerful system monitor for its small memory footprint. WinPatrol's easy tabbed interface allows you to explore deep inside your computer without having to be a computer expert. A one-time investment in WinPatrol PLUS provides a unique experience you won't find in any other software.




l will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission. WinPatrol PLUS includes our unique R.I.D. technology. As a MULTI PURPOSE SUPPORT UTILITY WinPatrol replaces multiple system utilities with its enhanced functionality.

WinPatrol allows you to get a better understanding of what programs are being added to your computer. It monitors important system areas that are commonly altered by many malicious programs. This includes the startup groups (registry and startup folder), cookies and active tasks. You can terminate processes and enable or disable startup programs. The cookie monitoring option allows you to automatically delete cookies based on a keyword found in the cookie name. Additional features include a WHOIS lookup tool and an option to alert you on changes. WinPatrol is easy to understand, yet quiet powerful.

Traditional security programs scan your hard drive searching for previously identified threats. WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge. You'll be removing dangerous new programs while others prepare to update their definition/signature data files.

WinPatrol is NOT:
1. Likely to conflict with other security programs you rely on.
2. A huge drain on your system resources or performance.
3. A yearly subscription or program only designed to help if you pay to upgrade.
4. A signature based system that relies on already identified threats.
5. A program that will update itself automatically without your knowledge.
6. Going to connect to the internet unless you explicitly request info.
7. Going to install any addition crap or toolbars on your system.

Supports Window XP, Vista, Windows 7 including x64 support.

New WinPatrol 24.3.2012
February 24th, 2012

I once wrote about how Windows versions are like snowflakes. These days there are so many versions, so many service packs and so many bad acting applications it�s almost impossible test new software. Add to this all the changes made for 64 bit machines and problems grow exponentially.

The release of WinPatrol 2012 has been fairly smooth but a handful of regular WinPatrol users have reported some bizarre behavior. Some reports made no sense at all. In hopes of continuing a single version of WinPatrol I�ve consulted with some great minds at Microsoft and this version has resulted in many suggested changes.

Since most changes are technical I won�t go into the internal updates that occurred. One change was to remove some of my assembler/machine code which was useless on 64 bit versions of Windows. The Microsoft C compiler has continued to optimize our monitoring code so tests show our real-time monitoring continues to be faster than any other malware monitor on the market

My plan is to continue making improvements to WinPatrol and hopefully all my future Emails will be requests for lost PLUS codes and not bug reports. I will be spending next week in Redmond continuing to receive assistance from the experts at Microsoft. I�m sure it will be a productive week for all WinPatrol and security minded fans.

Installation is recommended right over your current WinPatrol in the default folder. No Uninstall of previous version necessary.
