Windows 7
This version is the first specifically designed to work with Windows 7. If you're a Windows 7 user you're welcome to use this beta and report your experience. Many Windows 7 specific features are still being developed and may not be available until Microsoft has officially launched Windows 7..

User Access Control
This version was created to provide all the WinPatrol functionality you've come to enjoy even on a Windows Vista and WinPatrol 7 machine.
There are two versions of the small WinPatrol monitor component. One requires UAC permission, one does not.
Initially, the non-UAC version will run so you don’t have a UAC alert every time you reboot. If however, a change is detected and WinPatrol needs permissions we’ll swap the WinPatrol monitor with the one which requires UAC..
As seen on a Windows 7 machine -
Hide Alerts
The 2nd big change is a long time request. Many users have wanted to configure WinPatrol so that alert messages may be hidden from users. Typically, this has been requested by IT managers or parents but it may also be handy to regular WinPatrol users. This will be a bonus feature available only to supporters who have upgraded to PLUS.
As seen on a Windows XP machineI’ve also thrown in a feature which ignores “RunOnce” changes to the registry. I have never seen malware use this entry alone and it’s often used by legitimate and frequent updates. If you’re setting up a system for someone else this might be an option you’ll want to use.
Thank you for your support! -

Beta Tips
-
It's always a good idea to create a restore point of your system before
installing any new software. While I'm confident there's no real dangers
expected I recommend you back up any important data and create a restore point
for your system before installing any new software.
I love screen shots. If you have problems or suggestion you'd like to report sending a screen shot can save us both multiple Emails. To capture the current window hold down the Alt key and press PrntSrn key. This will copy the top window into the clipboard as an image. Just Paste the image into your favorite photo program and Email that file to support@winpatrol.com.
