Download Winpatrol 15.5.2008

Billp Studios has released version 15.5.2008 of Winpatrol. In this program ‘Scotty, the Windows watchdog’ keeps an eye on the system, which should make it work faster and more stable. The dog 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 gives access to a database with extensive information programs and processes and whether they are safe or malicious. The changelog for this release shows the following changes:

What’s New? 15.5.2008

WinPatrol runs fine under x64 systems but we did have a bug in detecting some of the new registry locations found under the Wow6432 registry path. This has been corrected so more than the default auto run locations are detected. For our corporate customers we’ve had a long time request to hide alert messages and to handle changes with a default action. At the same time, we’re now testing the ability to send a notification of the alert to servers so administrators can review what changes have occurred. This feature is disabled except for Enterprise customers and beta testers. The stealth functionality will soon be available for our PLUS members in version 16.[break]
