Geek Savings on WinPatrol

USA Today has called WinPatrol “very powerful protection”. Yesterday, the founder of WinPatrol, Bill Pytlovany, was gracious and answered a few questions for us.

WinPatrol protects your computer by keeping it under constant surveillance. There are stealth methods whereby malware and spyware can infect your computer, without you knowing. Even when you are super cautious, it may be a hurried click or an errant keystroke of the “Enter” key to cause a whole load of problems. Worse yet, the changes may happen without you having to doing anything.

This is where WinPatrol become critical to having a secure computer. Like a trusty watchdog, WinPatrol gives out a warning when there are any changes attempted on your machine. Then you decide whether to allow the change. The icon for WinPatrol is appropriately a little “scotty” dog. This program runs in the background and takes up little of your computer resources. You will notice WinPatrol when it spots a potential problem. You will be warned.

WinPatrol is on many “must have” lists. This is a program that has an excellent history – and countless recommendations over the years. WinPatrol has been available for over ten years, thanks to the work of Bill Pytlovany. The improvement functions packed into this program will surprise you. Here is a list from Bill: included functions of WinPatrol.

Briefly, here is what WinPatrol will not do:

• it won’t drain your system resources.
• it won’t interfere with other security programs.
• it won’t ask you for an annual payment. That just won’t happen.
• it won’t ‘phone home’ and collect information from the computer user.
