Has anyone here tried WinPatrol? (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/winpatrol/)
It seems to work in a similar fashion to the way spybot s&d's tea timer used to work on 1.3, but also gives you more information. It runs in the background and watches for the installation of toolbars, add-on, and extensions. It also monitors for changes to windows startup. (or the removal of such) Upon the attempted installation of such, the winpatrol will pop a window warning you of what is about to happen and offer the choice to allow it or deny it. I have only been trying it a couple weeks, but I think I like it so far.
Any opinions (by folk who have tried it) are welcome. Naysayers who have not tried it please refrain from chiming in. Thanks.

Re: WinPatrol
Hi Brink,
I have a copy of WinPatrol, WinPrivacy & their newest software WinAntiRansom. I’ve been using WinPatrol for a few years now and it does work pretty well. I have Win Privacy on a couple computers and it also seems like a pretty good program.
WinAntiRansome is pretty new and they are still working out the bugs, but it seems to be doing what it should be. I have it on my FTP server and made my main folder under the root the safe zone. I’m still trying to figure it all out.

Re: WinPatrol
It sounds like something to try. I will look at it and let you know what I think.

It is not "Can it be done?" but rather, "How can we do it?"
