Exit your current WinPatrol before running the new wpsetup.exe!
We recommend you install this new version in the same folder you're currently using and preserve your settings. Depending on your current version, WinPatrol will automatically detect that you're a PLUS member. If you do need your registration number just Email support@winpatrol.com and include the name you used to register.

We've separated our program into two separate components while keeping the easy to use familiar interface in place. The small and robust Winpatrol.exe continues to monitor and guard critical areas on your system and will alert you to any changes. Clicking on the Scotty task bar icon will launch WinPatrolEx.exe which provides the familiar tabbed interface. This powerful utility will allow you to view your current system settings and will assist you in removing the most dangerous and stubborn infections.

WinPatrol 8.0 allows you to monitor file types and be alerted if a program makes a change to these settings. This feature has a dual purpose. Especially dangerous programs or viruses may change the program associated with executable programs like EXE's or Scripts like .JS or JavaScripts. You may also run into legitimate programs that make themselves the default programs for JPG's or other media programs without asking. WinPatrol will make sure you keep the settings you want.

When you're going crazy and you can't get rid of some stubborn menace just right-click on the title and select "Delete File on Reboot". The next time you reboot, this file will be deleted before Windows starts and any other program tries to interfere.

As announced prior to this release, WinPatrol users have requested more support for non-IE browsers. WinPatrol now supports cookie filtering and management on Mozilla Firefox and other Mozilla type browsers
