WinPatrol 9.7
New Protections! Less Frustration!
As always thanks to the support of our WinPatrol PLUS users we have continued to work on new improved features for our free WinPatrol. PLUS members now enjoy access to our online knowledgebase as well as our new ground breaking Real-time Infiltration Detection
You'll See New Startup Programs
Don't be surprised when you see new titles listed as Startup Programs!
WinPatrol has expanded the number of locations monitored as auto-run setup programs. The Spyware and Adware villains have found some of those undocumented locations in Windows and Scotty will now check them as well. WinPatrol will reset them back to the default Windows settings. For the technies out there new locations included are:

* HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Shell= Explorer.exe
* HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Userinit.exe

New PLUS Startup Locations Monitored
WinPatrol has also expanded auto-startup locations internal to windows and more likely to be modified by experienced WinPatrol users. WinPatrol PLUS is required for this extended support.
WinPatrol monitors and can remove programs added to these locations if you're really sure they are dangerous

* HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\She llServiceObjectDelayLoad
Examples of OK programs include CDBurn, PostBootReminder, SysTray, WebCheck
* HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\SharedTaskScheduler
Examples of OK programs include Browser preloader:UI Library, Component Categories cache daemon
* HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\ShellExecuteHooks
Examples of OK programs include Browser preloader:Shell, Microsoft AntiSpyware Service Hook

100% Detections of the Top Spyware Threats
WinPatrol 9.7 has been tested against the top Spyware threats and Scotty got a score of 100. WinPatrol PLUS with R.I.D. has been further optimized to provide quick real-time detection of spyware threats and infiltrations on a Microsoft Windows based PC.
See R.I.D. Results Results for complete details.
Less Frustration for repeating threats
Many threats come in pairs so that as soon as you remove one program another one just recreates it. The results have been repeated warnings by Scotty over and over again. WinPatrol now recognizes repeat offenders and offers alternate solutions to help users remove the stubborn infiltrations.
Buffer Overflow Security Added
WinPatrol 9.7 now uses newly developed Windows text functions provided by Microsoft to protect developers from security threats caused by hackers taking advantage of possible buffer overflow flaws.

Additional International Help Support
BillP Studios has always been devoted to doing what we can to support users in other countries who would like to use their native language. Our volunteers have been great as localizing WinPatrol text. We can now support any language including new help files as they become available.
Tested with Microsoft Windows Vista Beta 1
Scotty is very happy running on the new Vista OS from Microsoft.
