Optimized - WinPatrol 2010 - Still Free
Available: October 12th, 2009

What's New
  • Reduced Memory Footprint
    The monitor component of WinPatrol has been optimized and shrunk so WinPatrol.exe is now only 313 KB instead of its previous 336 KB size. You won't find a smaller Windows system monitor as powerful as WinPatrol.
  • Additional Support for Firefox 3 and Google Chrome
    Since Firefox 3 changed from cookie.txt to SQLite database format Scotty hasn't been hungry for Firefox cookies. Support for Firefox 3 has been the single most requested features. Turns out I was able to include support for the SQLite format without increasing the size of WinPatrol.exe. While I was at it I also included support for Google Chrome which also uses SQLite to store their cookies.
  • Up to 30% Faster Performance (Sorry PLUS Only)
    Real-time scanning uses 30% less CPU than the polling provided by the free version. The real-time component has been optimized using more direct machine language then its original C coding.
  • Conflict reduction with other security applications.
    Scotty has always worked and play well with others. WinPatrol.exe has been optimized to handle the results of any Windows hooks in it's own code space reducing any conflicts with other security programs.
Currently available to paid subscriptions.
The new super optimized version will be available to the public on Monday, October 12th.
