    Softpedia Editor's Review for WinPatrol

    Sniffs out Worms, Trojan horses, Cookies, Adware, Spyware and more

    Written by Bogdan Popa on November 16th, 2011

    Computer users need a whole team of security applications just to be sure they’re on the safe side. And WinPatrol is actually the missing piece of the security puzzle because it can do so many great things for your computer that you can’t simply live without it.

    WinPatrol helps you fight against malicious files by keeping an eye on your data all the time, so you will be sure than no infection has managed to infiltrate into your system.

    Installation takes just a few seconds, but what’s more important is the interface that greets the user once he double clicks the desktop shortcuts.

    At the first glance, WinPatrol has so many features that you really don’t know which one to click. Features are organized in the main window in tabs, each tab coming with its very own set of options.

    First of all, WinPatrol helps you deal with startup programs in a very innovative way. Not only that you’re able to view the processes that run every time you start the computer, but you can also set up delayed starts to be sure it won’t take too much to boot the operating system.

    Plus, you can easily manage the running tasks through the dedicated tab, finding out information such as the file size and the module.

    Of course, since it’s so important in the fight against malicious files, WinPatrol also lets you manage Internet Explorer or Firefox cookies with a single click. Plus, it provides access to hidden files, as some spyware attempt to hide their files as soon as they reach the computer.

    The number of features bundled into WinPatrol is absolutely unbelievable and it’s almost a shock to see such an application being offered for free.

    All these considered, it’s almost obvious that WinPatrol is a must have for every computer user out there.
