Download WinPatrol 10.0.5.0

BillP Studios has updated WinPatrol to version 10.0.5.0. In this program ‘Scotty, the Windows watchdog’ keeps an eye on the system, which should make it work faster and more stable. It detects and stops spy, ad and malware, virus attacks, malicious Internet Explorer addons and prevents homepage hijacks. In addition, a number of other things are monitored, including the processes running on the PC, the hosts file and the file extensions. In addition to the free version, there is also a paid one Plus variant which provides access to a database containing extensive information about safe and malicious programs and processes. This version comes with the following release notes:

Thanks to feedback from all our members we’re releasing a maintenance release version of WinPatrol 10. Upgrading to 10.0.5 is not required unless you have experienced problems addressed in the list below.

• WinPatrol registry functions enhanced to handle over-zealous registry cleaners.
  Improper use of Registry Cleaners can cause Scotty to repeatedly ask permission for system changes.
• Build Tools updated to Microsoft Visual Studios 2005.
  In theory, this shouldn’t break anything. Adds a few KB to the program size but so far benchmarks indicate faster performance.
• PLUS Tab Search available on Free versions to support future promotions.
  When you click on the PLUS tab there’s an input box that allows you to search on any program name. This is now displayed on Free versions so it will be available in the future.
• Our alternate Installshield Setup program is now used as our default setup. This version is slightly larger than our original default setup but is more compatible with newer systems.
