We all know that anti-virus, anti-spyware or anti-malware is not enough to prevent infection and critical changes on our system. In this review, I’ll write about WinPatrol, a malware monitor program that will not put your system into its knees and never have problem with other anti-malware program.
If someone knocks on your door, you don’t simply open the door. It goes without saying that you will first check whose knocking and if we are expecting and trust the visitor, only then we will allow them in. We should be doing the same on any modifications in Windows with the help of WinPatrol. WinPatrol is also known as Scotty the Windows Watch Dog. It sits right on the notification area and quietly monitors unique areas and critical system in Windows. If any changes or addition is done on the system, Scotty will alert the user and provide information on the changes done by legitimate or malicious application. The user has the option to review the alert before making a decision on whether to allow or not the modification on the system.
If you think legitimate applications are good and to be trusted… think again! Because not all legitimate software are to be trusted in adding or modifying system without your consent or knowledge. You’ll never know if a good application is going to modify your preferred settings unless you have WinPatrol on your system.
If you believe your antivirus or antimalware’s real-time protection is enough to protect or secure your system, you are mistaken because WinPatrol is not a malware scanner but a security program that will detect violations on your computer by taking a snapshot of the critical areas of your system and alert you on changes. As you know already, malware will often attack critical areas on a system by disabling, adding or modifying your settings so the malware can do what it is programmed to do. WinPatrol can prevent malware because the real-time monitor of WinPatrol on critical areas on the system is fast enough before traditional anti-virus will add signatures or definitions to detect the malware.
