02-10-2007, 01:19 PMOur Development Team have advised us that AntiVirus has 'not' been officially tested on Windows Vista. We are hoping to include Windows Vista support in the next major version release of AntiVirus later on in the year, but are unable to exactly determine when it will be developed and ready for your use.
However Windows Vista can handle most Windows 16 ~ 32 bit system applications and some customers have successfully tested on Windows Vista. However since it's not certified by our Quality Assurance Department (QA), we cannot guarantee the stability and installation of AntiVirus.

Releasted today:
WinPatrol 2007
System Compatibility: Windows 95 through and including Windows Vista

WinPatrol 2007
QUOTE ("BillP")
While WinPatrol 2007 has been improved in many ways but the most popular new feature is called "Delayed Start". This will help make your computer startup faster then ever! The newest WinPatrol remains compatible with Windows 95 thru the new Windows Vista operating system.
WinPatrol runs great with Windows Vista and takes advantage of its new enhanced security features. If you use Vista’s UAC(User Access Control), you may find some startup programs require your permission before they can begin. Moving these programs to our Delayed Start list will prevent simultaneous annoying systems pop ups every time you restart your computer.
