WinPatrol is bijgewerkt naar versie 10.0.1.0. In dit programma houdt 'Scotty, de Windows-watchdog' het systeem in de gaten, waardoor dit sneller en stabieler zijn werk zou moeten doen. Het detecteert en stopt spy-, ad- en malware, virusaanvallen, kwaadaardige Internet Explorer-addons en voorkomt startpagina-hijacks. Daarnaast worden nog een aantal andere zaken in de gaten gehouden, waaronder de op de pc draaiende processen, het hosts-bestand en de bestandsextensies. Naast de gratis versie is er ook een betaalde Plus-variant die toegang geeft tot een database met uitgebreide informatie over veilige en kwaadaardige programma's en processen. Versie 10.0.1.0 wordt met de volgende release notes geleverd:
Major WinPatrol 10 InnovationsNew and Improved
- Hidden Files
Scotty can now be set to monitor Hidden files in critical system areas. A new list of Hidden Files is available to help you clean up your machine. Almost all new infiltrations and/or root kits will attempt hiding their files but Scotty can detect them in real-time before any serious danger can be done. While many hidden files are normal system files, the introduction of new hidden files should be questioned. Now it can be. The ability to delete hidden files will allow proper system cleanup. Right-click on the hidden file to view or delete.- Date & Time Program First Detected
Ever wonder when a new file was first introduced to your system?
WinPatrol 10 detects and records the introduction of new program files and malware infiltrations. This new feature will allow you to detect files which have all infiltrated your system at the same time. Even if they have random file names or file names matching legitimate files you can sort files by Date Detected and Kill them all at once.- Lock File Type Associations
This checkbox on the Options tab will allow you to keep your desired File Type associations settings without being annoyed by persistent programs. Scotty will automatically restore your original settings.- More Secret Startup Locations including WinLogon/Notify
WinPatrol PLUS now monitors even more non-tradition Startup locations found in the registry. Disable unwanted programs including the Windows Genuine Advantage.
Examples: WGALogon (Windows Genuine Advantage), GoToMyPC, Adware.Look2Me (O20)[break]
- Optimized for Multiple Security Programs
WinPatrol PLUS 10 has been optimized to work even better with other security programs. No one program can protect you and we recommend you don't rely on any single source of protection. WinPatrol PLUS 10 works even better while running other popular security and AntiSpyware programs.- PLUS Info one click away
