WinPatrol monitors and exposes adware, keyloggers, spyware, worms, cookies, and other malicious software. WinPatrol's goal is to help you better understand what programs are running on your computer and to alert you to any new programs added without your permission. Unlike traditional security programs, WinPatrol doesn't scan your hard drive searching for previously identified threats. Instead, it uses a heuristic behavioral approach, taking a snapshot of your critical system resources, then alerting you to any changes that occur without your knowledge.

Certain features include:

• Removing and Disabling Startup Programs

• IE Helpers, Browser Helper Objects, Toolbars

• Scheduled Tasks

• Services Manager

• Expose Hidden Files

• Options - Host File/Start Page Monitoring
