Nowadays computer users need what seems to be an entire team of security applications to be sure their personal information, Internet activities and files stored on their systems are safe. In some cases, there is a certain missing piece of the security puzzle, called WinPatrol.
This tiny utility helps you fight against malicious files, hijacking attempts and hidden system configuration attempts by keeping an eye on your data all the time.
At first glance, WinPatrol has a lot of options and so many features that you really don't know which one to click. However, all the functions are neatly organized in their own tabs, each with a particular set of configurations available.
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.
More so, 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 allows you to 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 for such a lightweight application. Also, it is so easy to use that even less experienced users will get along with it just fine.
All these considered, it's obvious that WinPatrol is one of the top applications that should be on the must-have list of every user out there.
