WinPatrol 9.8.0.0
Smaller, Faster and More Protection

WinPatrol 9.8 is smaller and faster. We've optimize our code and cleaned up portions which have been around since WinPatrol was first released in 1997.


We've also closed another common backdoor for Spyware by montioring the registry key commonly known as AppInit_DLLs (O20).
WinPatrol PLUS now monitors a number of non-tradition Startup locations found in the registry including:
  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad (O21)
    Used by CDBurn, PostBootReminder, SysTray, WebCheck
  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SharedTaskScheduler (O22)
    Examples:Browser preloader:UI Library, Component Categories cache daemon
  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellExecuteHooks
    Examples:Browser preloader:Shell, Microsoft AntiSpyware Service Hook
In the past we've spent more time on serious security issues and have neglected WinPatrol's cookie management. We've cleaned up our act and this version will help you manage your cookies with much better efficiency. For those who don't really care about cookies our changes will make sure cookie monitoring features don't slow you down.
