WinPatrol 2007

Just to let folks know n8chavez did contact support and has been helped so that his code was entered properly to activate the PLUS realtime features.

But I should also point out that testing the realtime detection can't be done that easily anyway.

Thanks,

Thank you Bill. Top notch support.

That would have been good to know beforehand. Ok, that being the case how can I test WP's real-time monitoring capabilities to make sure everything is working as it should?

 

Hi,

May be using Spycar test tools could be handful to play with Scotty

That's a great idea. Thanks for the suggestion. I've completed the test with WP+2007 and there are rather mixed. I will email these to Bill and see what he has to say.

WinPatrol 2007 Plus is a very decent application I added to my security setup.
Light, Effective, and most importantly, it has presented NO Conflict with the rest
of my programs.

 

That is very true. I think for the first time, after years of trying various applications, I've finally completed/finalized my setup. And, the best part is, all my bases are covered.

 

I recently wrote an email to Bill addressing some concerns I had and features that I thought should be implemented within WP. I mentioned a couple of things; 1. That I thought service monitoring should be real-time, and 2. That it would be nice if WP had the ability to monitorboth critical registry keys and those the users wishes to have monitored.

I was told today that both of these features will be implemented in the (near) future.

This is very good news!!

 

I hope, however, that if real-time, it stays as lightweight on memory and cpu as it is. Or it should have an option for non-realtime.
Actually, not being realtime is the reason why I choose WP. I don't want a resource hog.
