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.

    Even "WinPatrol Plus" doesn't have a true "real time" feature. It does NOT kick in immediately. This software is simple-minded and underpowered.

    The teatimer module in Spybot S&D (also free) does the same thing and without the annoying delay.

    Very useful tool for managing your system. Does a great job of monitoring my system and reporting new components that try to run. Sure, the free version has a minimum 1 minute delay before notification> If you need real time, spend the $30 and buy Winpatrol Plus. The $30 charge covers all your computers!!

    This might be useful if "real time" didn't mean, at best, "some time over the next minute".

    Good program except for the REALTIME warnings, they are just too late. What ever happened with Browser Sentinel(?)haven't heard from them since they changed there version from 1.35 to 2.11 and was a few years ago , that was the program with REAL realtime warnings.
