I occasionally bring up the WinPatrol control panel and peruse the lists (tasks, services, etc.) to check for new items. Most of the items I already know and trust but nonetheless I must read and evaluate each item in the list. It would be convenient if there were some way to mark those items I already know and trust, making it easier to identify the new items. In the lists of startup programs, services, et cetera, include a column where the user can click to set a checkmark. This checkmark would signify the item has already been evaluated and approved.

First, let me say Winpatrol is possible the most important utility I have installed on my PC. It has saved my but countless times from dangerous and/or annoying programs. KUDOS!

I realize that WinPatrol is not merely a startup program manager, but I think this idea would be a great fit with your mission.

It would be WONDERFUL to have multiple startup configurations available in some kind of menu that WinPatrol would manage. Even if it was just startup programs that would help. But if every program/service/addon/startup program that Winpatrol monitors could be assigned to a customized list of startup groups so that on boot a menu would display a choice of configurations, I think that would be very useful.

I am constantly traveling with my Laptop, and in different situations, I want different configurations, so this feature would be a boon.

I realize that at the service level, this would require some hooks at a deeper level that Winpatrol currently starts in. But even to have this option available for startup programs (which winpatrol could do from where it is now) would be very helpful.

Maybe there is somebody already doing this somewhere, if so, point me to them.

Thanks

Alert Enhancement to the "HOSTS FIle Alert Change", as follows:"

When alerted that a change has ocurred to the HOSTS File, I would prefer that the warning popup alert provided an option to "either restore or not - your HOSTS File to the contents it had before it was changed".

For example, .... Couldn't WinPatrol keep a backup of the HOSTS File in a folder and then use it to optionally (via the alert popup) restore the HOSTS File in case it was changed??.

1. An option to verify if exists some new version of WinPatrol, when WinPatrol starts.

2. Remember the last section viewed in WinPatrol when double click in Scotty.

3. Resize the WinPatrol History window.

I would like to see the installation date displayed for startup programs.

Hi , I had WinPatrol a while back and uninstalled it because I had Spyware
Guard and did not think I needed WinPatrol. Spyware Guard monitors any changes in the registry like BHO's and protecting your home page and your default Search from being changed

I realise now that WinPatrol does so much more than Spyware Guard and I reinstalled the latest free version. It is a very good program, but I have a wish. I wish that WinPatrol could prevent items from being put into the registry in the first place, instead of cleaning them out once they are .

Thanks for a great product,
Jillian

Thanks a bunch for letting me know this. That is terrific!!

Being able to set the order that programs start in would be nice (because I would like my firewall to be the very first program to start - currently it's last)

Also for the cookie manager, it would be nice if we could specify a list of 'trusted domains' that were the only domains allowed to download permanent cookies, and have everything else as a neutral domain where the cookie would be deleted at the end of the browsing session (or after a set time)....I'm guessing this request would require a change in the way winpatrol operates (from monitor to interceptor), so I understand if it doesnt happen.

Quite like how the product has developed

sometimes i get numerous requests saying "do u want to approve this" and i click no, no, no is it possible to remember to add a "remember this answer" tickbox or something ?

so scotty knows can just stop it without asking, that would be cool
