Nowadays computer users need what seems to be an entire team of security applications to be sure their personal information, Internet activities and files stored on their systems are safe. In some cases, there is a certain missing piece of the security puzzle, called WinPatrol.
This tiny utility helps you fight against malicious files, hijacking attempts and hidden system configuration attempts by keeping an eye on your data all the time.
At first glance, WinPatrol has a lot of options and so many features that you really don't know which one to click. However, all the functions are neatly organized in their own tabs, each with a particular set of configurations available.
WinPatrol is NOT:
1. Likely to conflict with other security programs you rely on.
2. A huge drain on your system resources or performance.
3. A yearly subscription or program only designed to help if you pay to upgrade.
4. A signature based system that relies on already identified threats.
5. A program that will update itself automatically without your knowledge.
6. Going to connect to the internet unless you explicitly request info.
7. Going to install any addition crap or toolbars on your system.
