As a MULTI PURPOSE SUPPORT UTILITY WinPatrol replaces multiple system utilities with its enhanced functionality. WinPatrol PLUS provides easy to understand descriptions of over 13,000 programs. As a robust SECURITY MONITOR, WinPatrol will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission. WinPatrol PLUS includes our unique, patent pending R.I.D. technology. WinPatrol uses a heuristic approach to detecting attacks and violations of your computing environment.

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 download new definition files.

The online database contains descriptions of both malicious programs you should avoid and normal safe programs you may have always wondered about. Starting with WinPatrol 9.5 PLUS users also get the addition of Real-time Infiltration Detection so they"ll know immediately when changes are made to critical system areas.

Unlike some new Anti-Spyware/Adware programs our free version will actually help you remove any programs that should go.
