WinPatrol The Computer Guard Dog
by Frank Jovine on 09/12/2009 in Antivirus Software, Security
WinPatrol is like having your own guard dog that will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission. Traditional security programs scan your hard drive searching for previously identified threats. WinPatrol will PROACTIVELY alert you to dangerous new programs while others prepare to update their virus definition/signature data files.
WinPatrol keeps tabs on programs running on your PC (including the hidden ones) and alerting you if a program tries to install something unexpected, programs that automatically start unexpected, changes to your home page or any other programs that install something it shouldn’t. You can delete the offending programs, block their automatic startup or just monitor them to see what they do.
Before you install WinPatrol make sure you are installing it on a machine that is clean from viruses, malware, trojans, etc. WinPatrol takes a snap shot of your system and than uses that snap shot to run comparisons.
WinPatrol resides in your system tray and guards your PC 24×7!

I am definitely installing this on my sister’s computer. She is so clueless to the idea of computer security, she has no idea whats going on. This is great for people just like her.
