WinPatrol 31.0.2014.0

WinPatrol is aanvullende beveiligingssoftware voor je virusscanner en firewall die met behulp van waakhond Scotty (zie afbeelding) allerlei instellingen op je pc controleert en waarschuwt bij veranderingen. Een prima extra beveiligingslaag voor gebruikers die alles op hun computer in de gaten willen houden.

WinPatrol 31.0.2014.0 is gisteren verschenen. Deze versie van WinPatrol kan beter Firefox en Google Chrome monitoren door een vernieuwde SQLite database te gebruiken. Ook kun je nu cookies van Firefox-kloon Pale Moon beheren.

Ook heeft Scotty een nieuw icoon gekregen. Na jaren trouwe dienst is het vorige blauwe icoon nu afgedankt. Het nieuwe icoon toont Scotty met een gele achtergrond.

WinPatrol is verkrijgbaar voor Windows XP, Vista, 7 en 8. Tegenwoordig komt bijna elke maand een nieuwe update voor WinPatrol uit.

Release notes:

SQLite Database

Both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome use a public domain database called SQLite. To properly monitor these and future browsers WinPatrol also uses SQLite, WinPatrol has been using a library SQLite3.DLL, provided by the developers of SQLite. In our new version, we've included the source code for the SQLite functions we need into WinPatrol. Adding the source code directly we have more control over accessing data and can also optimize the code to improve performance. We can also remove any extra code which isn't required so less memory is used.

You may notice in the WinPatrol list of hidden files many files that begin with "etilqs" followed by random characters. These are SQLite files as you may notice etilqs is SQLite backwards.

Pale Moon

Many browsers use Mozilla as the core of their functionality. Recently, many WinPatrol users have requested support for a Mozilla browser, Pale Moon. This browser will now automatically be detected so cookies stored by Pale Moon will be managed by WinPatrols view cookies and real-time filtering feature.
Pale Moon will also be listed as a browser in the standard WinPatrol Report.

New Icons

The Scotty system tray icon is easier to see with a new traditional Scotty icon on a blue tile background. The Blue Orb icon introduced when our original icon was hard to view on Vista will no longer be used. This will also mean we won't need the option to use our old traditional Scotty icon.
For anyone with a Start Menu, you'll also find more readable tile icons for WinPatrol, WinPatrol Explorer, Uninstall and Help.

Safe Update Version Info

Our Safe Update button will now include version information for security programs Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Microsoft Security Essentials where appropriate.

Server Optimization

WinPatrol v31 now optimizes communication with our server when a severe attack occurs. While WinPatrol will never create enough traffic to hurt your local network our new optimization will make sure you have all the bandwidth you need.
