WinPatrol 2009 - Stay Safe With Scotty the Watchdog

One of my favorite Free Security Programs is WinPatrol 2009. WinPatrol 2009 is basically a program that monitors your system and detects if changes are being made to it. If it detects a change being made Scotty The Watchdog will bark to alert you and a pop-up window will ask if you approve of the change. Why is this important?

If you are installing a new piece of computer software and Scotty alerts you that this program wants to run at startup then you click allow. If you are surfing the internet and Scotty alerts you that some program you have never heard of wants to install then it's probably a good idea to not allow it.

You can view a short video made by a WinPatrol user as well as download WinPatrol 2009 from the same page. If you like the program and want to help the developer just upgrade to the Pro Version...it's a one time lifetime fee.

You can also use WinPatrol to help control your Startup Programs which is useful if you want to speed up your computer. Learn how to control startup programs.
