Bill ZahrenWinPatrol 2008 - New Version!
May 12, 2008 by keith in The Pit Blog
The 2008 version of WinPatrol is now available. BillP studios have added a great new feature, ActiveX Component Management.
WinPatrol will now monitor your system and let you know when new ActiveX components try to make their home on your system. If it's not something you wanted WinPatrol will kill the new component before it can do any damage.
Make sure to upgrade to WinPatrol Plus 2008 to get all the benefits.

I think $29.95 for an upgrade that apparently adds only one feature (Active X management) is a bit steep. I'll stay with my existing version until the upgrade price becomes more reasonable. Many of my utilities provide free upgrades for registered users.

The Win Patrol PLUS is a ONE-TIME purchase and all upgrades are FREE. I have been a PLUS user for several years and I have nothing but praise for Bill P., his products, and his service - he even replies to my e-mails!

I only wish Bill was the developer of ALL repeat ALL computer programs, then there would be nothing to fix. Keep up the good work Bill, and you really should charge more for your knowledge.

I received an e-mail today clarifying that the upgrade is free and can be obtained from this link: http://www.pcpitstop.com/utilities/wpsetup.exe.
Thanks for the quick response. I'm a satisfied user of several PC Pitstop products.

RE's 17 May link didn't work for me … but this one did: http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html
You can also go to the Scotty's "Plus" tab and check for new versions.

Winpatrol is GREAT! I have been using it for at least 8 years. Have installed it on many hundreds of computers. It only gets better. The only thing I miss in winpatrol is scotty reminding me to send Bill a birthday card. (birthday cardware)

Win Patrol is great but Plus makes it the greatest! If you should lose the your code, don't worry, you won't be charged for a new one. Just email Bill and he will send your code. This is the best program, and support, on my machine.
