WinPatrol protects your computer and gives you control over hidden functions to modify security and access control processes hidden from the operating system. It makes it almost impossible to penetrate your security vulnerabilities, staying resident and monitoring suspicious activity, slowing down any attack before it causes harm.
WinPatrol also offers additional information and remains attentive to any changes; it will also monitor any change made to your home page, search page or the buttons in Windows Explorer (IE Helpers), which sometimes happens when installing programs. This version finally adds compatibility with Firefox 3 cookies and fixes the annoying bug regarding the parsing of AppInit_DLL Registry Key, plus features better integration with Windows Explorer.
With this utility you can understand better how to operate the programs added to your computer, check those areas that are generally altered by malware, analyze startup programs, cookies and active processes. WinPatrol provides detailed information on your system, allowing you to eliminate what you do not want to be there and protect it against unwanted changes.

If your not sure what something does, Plus Info (in the paid version) gives straight forward date w/ Users' ranking giving the facts needed to make your decision - saving a whole lot of time with Google, btw if they don't have data on line check back for an answer (con: They do NOT advise when they do, nor a "Flag". PRO: You can add your own note to this program's file.).
