WinPrivacy

Download

You will need to download from our site at www.winpatroltogo.com because Google is continuing to have a false positive on WinPrivacy and we do not want them blocking this site with their Red False Positive scare screen.

If you have difficulties downloading WinPrivacy because your browser (Chrome and/or Firefox) has a false positive, please see instructions below for deactivating their "security" feature.

What's new in 2015.9.717 (posted September 23rd)

Added the new features, SPY BLOCK! This feature can be used to block Windows 10 spying.
Fixed a bug that resulted in Canvas Fingerprinting page not to work properly.
Fixed some controls that were discovered not to support screen readers as they should.

What's new in 2015.9.686 (posted September 11th)

Added ability to interactively obtain VirusTotal scan results from both the Internet and Blocked Programs pages.
Added ability to “Check for Updates” in the main menu. So now, you can check whenever you would like and you’ll get to see if updates are available for both WinPrivacy and WinPatrol.
Fixed bug in program start-up that could result in service timing out and not starting on some computers.
Fixed bug that resulted in some prompts not being raised.
Fixed bug that caused WinPrivacy not to run properly on some 32-bit computers.
Fixed bug on Settings page that resulted in “Update” button failing by creating a dynamic link for downloading.
Improved network driver, optimizing and streamlining processing to make it run faster and more efficiently and avoid the annoying false positives.

Google False Positive avoidance instructions

The folks at Mozilla are now using Google Web Services in order to detect malicious sites.

Regrettably, they also detect false positives with this engine as well.

We've scanned our installer at VirusTotal and only Rising has a false positive for which we've already submitted a report... https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/d2965310fdb6fe0ccfa53c6f9345925c3aa9defbe4f893c8edfebbc0116cb536/analysis/1442005303/

You can disable the warning messages in Firefox as follows:

Click on the three horizontal lines located in the upper-right of the screen
Select Options
Next, click on “Security” in the left hand menu
In the General section, uncheck “Block reported attack sites”

That’s it. Firefox will now work without the false positives.

It is a brand new setting and flawed, so disabling it for the time being won’t cause you to lose any functionality you had prior to this release.

You can disable the warning messages in Chrome as follows:

Go into Chrome Settings
Click on Advanced.
Uncheck the box “Enable phishing & Malware”

That’s it. Chrome will now work without false positives.
