WinPatrol v33.6.2015.16 July 22 2015 This version contains some exciting upgrades and fixes. Most notable of the fixes is the silencing of repeat alerts. We have been performing field studies of our fixes with customer's who were willing to install pre-release software for the fixes. From this we learned a lot and were able to finally silence the repeat alerts. Whats New • Enhanced start-up logic to include more start-up programs. • Better detection of 64 bit startup and active tasks. • Better detection of 64 bit program status. • Fixes for repeat alerts. • Improved installation/upgrade. • Support for Windows 10 Edge cookies (No Spartan Cookies). • Fixes potential error when disabling/enabling startup tasks that would corrupt data on the screen. • Active Tasks page now displays all running instances of the same executable. • Ability to terminate all active tasks for the same program. • Fixed bug that would result in unwanted UAC prompts when running WinPatrol Explorer More Info l Download: WinPatrol 2015
If you install this version, I would advise you to backup your HKLM_RUN reg keys before updating. In my case WP removed all of mine without warning. This was an an XP WEPOS system. I will be trying this on W7 shortly.
Same here...removed Avast Free and CleanMem from start programs, a couple others, MBAE and Online Armor firewall remained. Using Windows XP Pro SP3.
I want to apologies to everyone here. We did indeed have a bug in our installer and it made it through our QA process and regrettably none of our beta testers saw it either. The bug has been fixed and our installer will create a new Run key under HKLM, but regrettably cannot recreate any lost entries. Since the bug was in the installer itself, I fixed the installer and used the 33.6.2015.16 binaries and a stop-gap fix. We are running a full build now and will post that once available so that we increment the release/build number. My apologies for this problem. Bret.
Anyone know the reason for removing the -expressboot switch from the winpatrol startup in this version? Is it no longer used?
I just realized that WinPatrol should be able to restore the removed Run Keys. Simply do the following: 1. Click on the Options tab. 2. Open the History dialog by clicking on "View History..." 3. Scroll to the bottom. 4. You will see entries with "Action" equal to "START_Alert" and "Command" "MACHINE_RUN" 5. Select the entry and then click on "Restore" I was able to restore the 4 entries removed from my local workstation by doing this. Thanks, Bret.
