It’s become a common practice to defend your PC with a handful of security apps rather than relying on a single program. One lesser-known app worth investigating is WinPatrol.

Just released, WinPatrol 2010 builds on the strengths of previous versions. It’s now even lighter on memory use, weighing in at about 5Mb on my Windows 7 x64 system. Scotty’s also learned to play nice by tweaking internal behaviors to reduce conflicts with antivirus applications.

The new version’s cookies tab now handles Firefox and Google Chrome in addition to Internet Explorer. Users of the WinPatrol Pro will also enjoy improved realtime scanning speed – 30% quicker than the free version.

Winpatrol also scores serious points for its Pro licensing plan. Not only do you pay once for the software and receive a lifetime of upgrades, but developer Bill Pytlovany believes that your license should follow you – not your computer. That means you’re free to enjoy your paid WinPatrol on any and all PCs that you personally own and use. Nice!

Both the free and pro versions of WinPatrol 2010 are available for download now, as is WinPatrol To Go — the portable version, which is also free.

Winpatrol 2010 is out, and the little black scotty is leaner and meaner than ever originally appeared on Download Squad on Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
