WinPatrol monitors your computer and does not allow applications to simply add themselves to the startup menu or associate files to themselves. Everything is caught by winpatrol. It then asks if you agree to what modifications are being done or not.
Yes

This update is actually quite old but a most useful program, well worth buying the Plus version.

Warns me of programs removed & start up programs removed or added & windows systems added & more, well worth running on any PC - A must have & I can't fault this program or the developer.

I've been using Winpatrol for years on all of my computers. It has always done what it is meant to do and it's very user friendly. I have nothing negative to say about it.

Looks like the last two releases were bug fixes, though not had any issues - Getting better all the time.
@Zootopia3001- Impressed with Ghostery you mentioned on AM review, better than DoNotTrack+ I was using, a brilliant add-on !!

Has had some quirks now and then in the last year(on my XP system) but seems to be resolved now. This is the only active realtime security that I use(paid version) other than Comodo Firewall and OpenDNS. Everything else is passive along with set security settings done either by myself or with the aid of other software such as Windows Worms Door Cleaner, Script Defender and others.
Scotty won't sell you out for a cheeseburger. Always on patrol. Nice software.
