NEW with WinPatrol 20.5

Firefox Cookies
Firefox 4.0 uses an updated version of the SQLite database library which included features not supported by WinPatrol. We've updated our SQLite code to support Firefox 4.0 users.

Duplicate WinPatrols
Some 64-bit users reported duplicate WinPatrol entries in the startup programs list. This has been fixed. I've also updated the check box on the Options tab so you can initialization how WinPatrol is set to start.

Provided Cloud Privacy Option
While I'm satisfied with our implemenation of data collected when you keep or remove a program many of your friends using WinPatrol are obviously concerned about privacy. You may uncheck the option to share decisions. This may also reduce complaints by Firewall programs. Most firewall programs are happy as long as you let them know that WinPatrol.exe and WinPatrolEx.exe are safe. Even if you don't participate in sharing your choices, PLUS members will still have useful Cloud data available when checking PLUS Info.

X64 Run Duplicates
Reduced confusion when applications included their RUN registry in both the WOW64 key and legacy RUN key. Both entries will be displayed when "Display Secret Startup locations" is checked.

First Detected Sort
I finally fixed a long time bug in how Startup Programs are sorted. I apoligize that more date for formats are not supported at this time. I know this is important to friends outside the U.S. but security features have taken priority.

User Interface
Some fonts have been tweaked to make sure all information is available.

Digital Signiture
Updated Code Signing Digitial Signiture v3 now valid until June 2012

Changelog :

# Performance - You’ll Love it
* First and foremost I’ve been working on making WinPatrol robust and hidden away so under normal circumstances you’ll never know its running. Based on your feedback,
I’ve concentrated on making sure WinPatrol works with other security programs.
Our research shows that most of you tend to run at least two anti-Virus/Malware programs along with WinPatrol.
Many experts will recommend against more than one program but WinPatrol doesn’t work like other malware monitors.
It runs great along with other programs.
Many Anti-Virus companies may disagree and their support reps will recommend you remove WinPatrol.
They haven’t tested with WinPatrol, we have.
 If a program removes or quarantines WinPatrol just reinstall our setup program. It’s still a quick, easy download.

# Cookies – Filter out Bad Cookies Automatically.
* Earlier this year Microsoft updated how they name cookie files. They now use random file names but they’re still just unencrypted text files.
You can “click here” to read why they decided to make this change. Its makes some sense but broke how WinPatrol manages and filters bad cookies.
If you’ve received the update from Microsoft the WinPatrol cookie manager for Internet Explorer will be broken and look like this.

# Localization Fix – 64 bit versions
* I’m not a big fan of Windows 64 bit OS and our language service packs broke using Windows 64 bit.
I’ve fixed this bug and look forward to showing our international friends how much we respect them by releasing new versions of our local versions.
Our language packs are created by volunteers and I couldn’t think them enough.

# WinPatrol Enterprise – Now Available for Small Business
* Most users don’t realize there is a version of WinPatrol designed for large companies with over 100 employees.
One of the main features of Enterprise is centralized administration.
When a change is detected instead of the user being notified, an Email is generated and sent to a main administrator. WinPatrol 2012 Small Business is a special partnership now available for 10 systems and one administrator for $179 USD. You can order via our online store and your small business key will be sent within 2-3 business days.

* Delayed Start

- While not everyone had the same experience some folks reported that Delayed Start was no longer working with WinPatrol 2012. This update will resolve this error and give back one of your favorite features.

* Hidden Files 64 bit

- This update also helps fix a bug in the display of hidden files on 64 bit versions of Windows. It doesn't affect any other versions and has no impact unless you're using Windows 64 bit version. You'll know you have Windows 64 bit if you notice the you have both a Program Files folder and one called Program Files (x86).

Zitat
Build 24.5 has some changes in both WinPatrol and our installation program. This version addresses two major reports. One relates to WinPatrol crashing for no obvious reason. The other report is that WinPatrol wasn't always running when the computer started.

Our previous version also had more than its share of trouble trying to "Kill" programs that were running. Thanks to the Microsoft engineers who offered tips at our recent Most Valuable Professional summit. This version works much better so we expect all users will happy updating to 24.5.

Beitrag von: SiLæncer am 16 April, 2012, 06:17
Zitat
One of the major complaints with the last versions of WinPatrol has been the option to automatically run WinPatrol on startup. We narrowed down the code where Windows 64 was redirecting the location used to auto run WinPatrol. The checkbox found in the Options tab will now maintain its status as it always has.
This "Automatically run WinPatrol..." option controls the small monitor component of WinPatrol that detects changes without slowing you down. Most people who had problems will be happy that Scotty will always on patrol again. Many others use the WinPatrol Explorer tabbed interface but have other programs they prefer as a heuristic monitor. This will work tor them as well

A number of XP users had reported problems which have been tracked down to the use of newer development tools. While our only XP machine won't accept the SP3 update our XP SP3 emulator is now much happier with this new version. I'll continue to work with any XP SP3 users who report problems.
I had also neglected special features available to Windows 64 bit XP users. This configuration is apparently more popular than our stats indicated.

My goal continues to try supporting every version of Windows available with a single code base. Next stop Windows 8!

Complete update of WinPatrol Help pages. Documentation is included locally and is available on each tab by clicking blue help icon. This feature has been considered essential for new and/or non-expert users. Each help file includes a link to any updated information including better ways to teach WinPatrol based on user feedback.

Beitrag von: SiLæncer am 04 September, 2013, 13:30
Whats new: >>

Update Notification:
· Ironically one of our new fixes relates to text on our PLUS screen that lets you know when a new version is available.
By popular demand WinPatrol will now send a message letting you know when a new build is available.
When this notification is displayed we also change the text on the PLUS screen to remind you.
Unfortunately, the text didn't always reset after you upgraded to the new version. This version will resolve that issue.

Windows 8 Task Manager:
· Instead of using MSConfig, Windows 8 includes a list of Startup programs as a tab in the new Task Manager.
Users can disable startup programs using the Windows Task Manager.
While WinPatrol's "Disable" feature includes additional features it
now recognizes choices made by the Task Manager and will alert Task Manager when files are disabled by WinPatrol.
As in the past WinPatrol will monitor programs which are disabled
so if they are forced back to normal by a partner program, WinPatrol will automatically reset them to disabled unless you click to Enable the program. (Windows 8 Only)

Installation Program Update:
· The WinPatrol setup program will no longer launch regedit as part of the install process.
In the past, regedit was used to set some useful examples on how to use the feature that allows
WinPatrol to monitor any registry location. Launching regedit was not acceptable
to some secure systems and with so many different versions of Windows not all of our examples
were useful on all platforms. A help file is still easily accessible on the Registry Monitoring tab.
(All Users during setup. PLUS required for custom registry monitoring.)

Windows XP Enhancement:
· As part of our dedication to XP users we've improved performance that can sometimes be affected by large Temp
Internet Folders or hard drives with little space.
Even if you don't use Internet Explorer unrelated quirks can sometimes occur when the temp file grows too large.
For more information on healthy temp files reading Free #1 Tweak to Improve Windows Performance
While for safety we recommend XP users upgrade to Windows 8 before
 the end of support from Microsoft next April, WinPatrol will continue to
detect changes including zero-day infiltrations on Windows XP systems.
(Windows XP SP2 & SP3 and Windows Vista users.)

    Artificial Intelligence Security

    This new feature will increase WinPatrol's value exponentially over time. It will also be accessible for our future apps like Task Catcher "Extreme" and other partners interested in licensing the technology. Unlike the Optional sharing of choices used on our Community Info pages, all A.I. Security data is kept private on your machine.
    Testing of Task Catcher Extreme is restricted to current Task Catcher customers and/or BillP Studio Associates who agree to a strict NDA. Still in development our WinPatrol-Powered A.I.S.provides the 3rd generation of unique ideas created by BillP Studios to detect and stop dangerous new threats without crippling your computer.
    We believe a passive approach can still be used to detect and shut down instant attacks like Cryptolocker. We're seeing a trend in threats that remain in memory instead of becoming resident in the Windows registry or hard drive. These attacks will not be detected by most traditional Anti-Virus programs.

    Improvements and Bug Reports

    Semi-Transparent Alert messages on Windows 8 make Scotty less intrusive.
    Manifest file updated to support presistant WinPatrol window size and positions when using alternate DPI settings.
    Improvements to our Active Task List and more success Killing of active tasks using multi-selection standards.
    Introduction of new triggers to increase performance by reducing redundant monitoring(PLUS Only)
    Improved performance of change detection on our free version.
    Improved screen UI and description when a change is detected for the Windows Update settings.
    ( Did you know WinPatrol monitored changes to the Windows Update? )
    The default setting for File Explorer integration is now disabled. It's been pointed out that a large number of programs taking advantage of the right-click context menu wthout asking. We also don't want to seem like we're nagging users to upgrade to WinPatrol PLUS.

Best Performance Yet:

While the time has come to improve the look of WinPatrol it was still more important to optimize portions of the WinPatrol real-time monitor.
It's clear that many older machines are still providing a service even if they have a single core CPU and minimal memory.

Many common system checks that we previously read from the Windows registry are now stored in WinPatrol's local memory and updated only if needed.
This not only saves CPU cycles but it also saves our disc access. Other programs may rely on third-party software libraries but we still maintain complete control over every instruction executed by WinPatrol to detect changes.
Users with programs like Process Explorer will see the improvement immediately.

Reports:

The WinPatrol report and Hijack report have also been updated to be more useful.
Since internally Windows 7 and Windows 8 are still considered Windows version 6 we've made sure to do the proper conversion letting reports accurately provide version numbers for both Windows and Internet explorer.

New Cookie Support:

Unlike many programs WinPatrol has never relied on 3rd party program libraries for popular features.
The code in the two main WinPatrol components uses the "C" programming language and has been written at a Windows API level by WinPatrol's developer, Bill Pytlovany.
One exception is a DLL called SQLite3.dll which is used to access files which are part of the SQLite database.
Both Firefox and Chrome use the open source, public domain SQLite database to store their cookies.
The only way for WinPatrol to access these cookies is to use the SQLite code. In December a new version of SQLite3.dll was released and has been included with WinPatrol 2014.

The new version of SQLite should fix some cookie bugs which have been reported. We also plan on adding support for Chrome and Firefox plug-in's so having the new verion is also great incentive.
If you look at the files we list under the Hidden tab you'll notice files starting with etilqs_.
These are typically temporary files that are used by a program which uses the SQLite database.

Windows Update Handling:

WinPatrol notifications include information on the removal of any programs which are currently on the list of auto running files and control panel entries for installed programs.
We've found that during normal Microsoft Windows updates these entries are replaced and are expected changes that won't need notifications.
As with previous notifications WinPatrol wants you to know when a change occurs but not overwhelm you with messages.

Restore Position and Size:

WinPatrol is one of the few programs that use a tabbed interface but allow you to resize your window.
Over the years based on user feedback we do provide a maximum and minimize button.
In the past our maximize setting was not always saved from one session to another.
This new version fixes that problem and other issues related to changes in multi-monitor configurations.

Typo:

Other changes to WinPatrol 2014 are minor but very important.
In our last version a typo was introduced in the text displayed by the Scotty system tray icon.
Instead of letting you know Scotty was ready to pounce our typo said he was ready to bounce.
While Scottie's can certainly bounce I was pleased that so many of you reported this error.
It's a very embarrassing but I'm glad to know that folks are reading our messages.
It helped us review many of our text messages to make sure they would be useful.

Delayed Start:

One of the new favorite features, Delayed Start has been updated to handle some unique filename and parameter combinations which did not work as we expected.
We've also optimized our background monitor while waiting for programs yet to be launched.
The ""-express"" parameter is used when WinPatrol first launches so we can provide the quickest start time possible.
We still believe computers should turn on as quickly as TV's. While computer are starting quicker it's sad to see our new TV's seem to be taking longer.

THIS WEEKEND ONLY
SPECIAL MARCH MADNESS / XP Protection SALE Only $2.00
Ends Monday at Midnight EST

(http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/winpatrol_2265_102520)March Madness for Windows XP
About once a year I have a special sale that most people think is crazy and I swear I’ll never do it again. This month I have a good reason to try to have more people protected by WinPatrol.
For long weekend I’m making a one system lifetime upgrade license to WinPatrol PLUS available for $2.00. Our full family pack lifetime license normally $49.95 can also be purchased for $10.00.  Sale ends Monday night at midnight EST.
This month our stats show that 17% of visitors to WinPatrol.com are still using Windows XP. I’ve heard from many people who will not or can not upgrade at this time. Even this summer I suspect our XP visitors will still exceed 10%.

Release Notes
SQLite Database

Both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome use a public domain database called SQLite. To properly monitor these and future browsers WinPatrol also uses SQLite, WinPatrol has been using a library SQLite3.DLL, provided by the developers of SQLite. In our new version, we've included the source code for the SQLite functions we need into WinPatrol. Adding the source code directly we have more control over accessing data and can also optimize the code to improve performance. We can also remove any extra code which isn't required so less memory is used.

You may notice in the WinPatrol list of hidden files many files that begin with "etilqs" followed by random characters. These are SQLite files as you may notice etilqs is SQLite backwards.

Pale Moon

Many browsers use Mozilla as the core of their functionality. Recently, many WinPatrol users have requested support for a Mozilla browser, Pale Moon. This browser will now automatically be detected so cookies stored by Pale Moon will be managed by WinPatrols view cookies and real-time filtering feature.
Pale Moon will also be listed as a browser in the standard WinPatrol Report.

New Icons

The Scotty system tray icon is easier to see with a new traditional Scotty icon on a blue tile background. The Blue Orb icon introduced when our original icon was hard to view on Vista will no longer be used. This will also mean we won't need the option to use our old traditional Scotty icon.
For anyone with a Start Menu, you'll also find more readable tile icons for WinPatrol, WinPatrol Explorer, Uninstall and Help.

Safe Update Version Info

Our Safe Update button will now include version information for security programs Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Microsoft Security Essentials where appropriate.

Server Optimization

WinPatrol v31 now optimizes communication with our server when a severe attack occurs. While WinPatrol will never create enough traffic to hurt your local network our new optimization will make sure you have all the bandwidth you need.

WinPatrol v32 from Ruiware:

This version marks the start of WinPatrol Generation II and the introduction of Bret Lowry co-found of Ruiware. Bret was software architect and lead at Sunbelt Software responsible for the growth of CounterSpy and VIPRE Business bringing Sunbelt to the top of Anti-Virus comparison charts.
The combined experience of Bret and Bill led to a month long code review of WinPatrol resulting in many improvements which may not be obvious. PLUS users will notice robust detection of changes so WinPatrol notifications arrive ahead of warnings by your Anti-Virus programs.
Version v32 demostrates Bret's commitment to everyone using WinPatrol and continues to be a free upgrade to lifetime PLUS members. If you haven't already, upgrade to PLUS today and show your support.

New Start Menu and System Tray Icons:

Changes to the Scotty system tray icon generated a much larger reaction than expected. Part of the problem was the color yellow is commonly used as a warning. The new Scotty system tray icon is easier to see with a new traditional Scotty icon on a green background. Our yellow tile with Scotty will still be used but only to indicate when a scan for changes is in process. If a notification is displayed, the yellow icon will continue to show until you accept or reject the change.
The Blue Orb icon was introduced when Vista users found our original icon hard to view. The Blue Orb will be used by our install program, wpsetup.exe. For anyone with a Start Menu, you'll also find more readable tile icons for WinPatrol(Green), WinPatrol Explorer(Blue), Uninstall(Purple) and Help(Yellow).

Pale Moon:

Many WinPatrol users have requested support for the Mozilla browser called Pale Moon. In the last version support for Cookies stored by Pale Moon was added and identified as a Mozilla type of a browser. Unfortunately, while WinPatrol handled cookies for Pale Moon it only included the Mozilla choice is another Mozilla browser was detected such as Firefox. This error has been corrected and if WinPatrol finds that Pale Moon has been installed it will include the Mozilla option on our screen for setting up cookie filters. As always, WinPatrol will support any browser that Windows identifies as the default when requesting PLUS Info or Safe Update versions.

Safe Update Version Info:

Our Safe Update button will now include version information for security programs Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Microsoft Security Essentials where appropriate.

Server Optimization:

WinPatrol v32 optimizes communication with our server in the case of a denial of service attack occurs. While WinPatrol will never create enough traffic to hurt your local network our new optimization will make sure you have all the bandwidth you need.

Latest Changes

Resolves some errors due to a change to a new default folder. Using a new tool from Ruiware for inspecting registry data we tracked down some remaining failures in the Delayed Start program list.
Other reports from the first day of downloading indicated some files from the previous BillP Studios folder were not copied to the new folder as planned. In particular, the history.txt was not copied and is useful if a startup program needed to be restored.

Changelog
Improved History processing now includes history of any items restored. For example, when a file is removed from the Startup tab it displays “START_Remove”. If the file is restored, an entry is added “START_Restored” to give confirmation and so you can track what has been done.
Fixed bug in History Restore functionality that cause restore to fail on many occasions.
Improved automatic clean-up and removal of files no longer on your computer from the WinPatrol database.
Updated alert processing to help eliminate repeat alerts.
Added code so that users of BitDefender 2015 should be able to use AutoPilot without receiving repeated alerts.
Fixed upgrade bug that results in two versions of WinPatrol running for some customers.
Added “First Detected” column to the Delayed Start Tab.
Added “Status” column to the Startup Programs Tab. Currently we do not recognize when 64-bit programs are running, we will have a full 64-bit version of WinPatrol available later this year.
Program description now displays in WinPatrol Explorer footer when highlighting a program.
Fixed sorting on date columns.
Fixed a bug Registry Monitoring that resulted in some keys not being monitored as they should have been.
Added note to Cookies tab that recommends closing any open browsers prior to editing cookies. We also added improved processing to handle if a browser is open so that you do not lose your changes. But we still recommend closing a browser before editing it’s associated cookies because the major browsers all keep a cache of their cookies and will automatically restore anything they have not themselves removed.
