This program was brought to our attention by one of our subscribers. The program is screen reader friendly and offers an impressive amount of information and control. You just need to take a little time to get acquainted with the features. While it's not truly a AntiSpyware program it increases your control over unwanted additions or changes to your system. It's available as either a free or paid version. Purchasing the program allows you access to their data base. This provides a great deal of valuable information on files and programs that you aren't sure about. I've found this a useful feature. In the case of the free version there are no nags to constantly want you to purchase the product. The following information comes from the WinPatrol download page.
Installing WinPatrol is quick and easy. When you run WinPatrol you may not notice any changes at all. The only visible change you'll see is Scotty on guard down in your system tray. That means WinPatrol is quietly on patrol and you'll only know it's running if there's some kind of potentially dangerous change made to your system.
Want to learn more? Optimize performance? Double-Click on the Scotty icon and you'll open up the WinPatrol Explorer. This tabbed interface allows you to learn more about your computer and gives you more control then you'll find in a half dozen other Windows utilities.
Take your time. Review the contents of each tab at your own pace. Click on the Help icon located on each tab/page for more information on how to optimize your computer.
We've included the following for your information.
