Updates - May 15, 2011: WinPatrol

the following was copied/pasted from http://www.winpatrol.com/upgrade.html   :

"Welcome to version WinPatrol 20.5. This version fixes a number of long time requests and resolves many of the quirks WinPatrol is forced to deal with on Windows 64-bit systems.

Given the increase in 64-bit systems, I have started to focus on a 64-bit native build of WinPatrol. This will allow me to fully support 64-bit users and still provide new features for non 64-bit users. Ironically, the initial results will be more features for non 64-bit users but 64-bit users will be provided better stability and compatibility with other low level programs.

 

  • NEW with WinPatrol 20.5


  • Firefox Cookies
    Firefox 4.0 uses an updated version of the SQLite database library which included features not supported by WinPatrol. We've updated our SQLite code to support Firefox 4.0 users.

  • Duplicate WinPatrols
    Some 64-bit users reported duplicate WinPatrol entries in the startup programs list. This has been fixed. I've also updated the check box on the Options tab so you can initialization how WinPatrol is set to start.

  • Provided Cloud Privacy Option
    While I'm satisfied with our implemenation of data collected when you keep or remove a program many of your friends using WinPatrol are obviously concerned about privacy. You may uncheck the option to share decisions. This may also reduce complaints by Firewall programs. Most firewall programs are happy as long as you let them know that WinPatrol.exe and WinPatrolEx.exe are safe. Even if you don't participate in sharing your choices, PLUS members will still have useful Cloud data available when checking PLUS Info.

  • X64 Run Duplicates
    Reduced confusion when applications included their RUN registry in both the WOW64 key and legacy RUN key. Both entries will be displayed when "Display Secret Startup locations" is checked.

  • First Detected Sort
    I finally fixed a long time bug in how Startup Programs are sorted. I apoligize that more date for formats are not supported at this time. I know this is important to friends outside the U.S. but security features have taken priority.

  • User Interface
    Some fonts have been tweaked to make sure all information is available.

  • Digital Signiture
    Updated Code Signing Digitial Signiture v3 now valid until June 2012"

Thanks ky331

Due to a recent post by BillP in his blog, I wasn't even sure WinPatrol was a good idea for 64 bit Win 7 versions:
"Over the last year I’ve continued to distribute a 32-bit version of WinPatrol and worked around various quirks.  It’s obvious now that if I want to continue to enhance WinPatrol and create more powerful features I’ll need a 64-bit only version."

I can confirm this latest version of WP installed on my 64 bit Win 7 system without problem. Whether all its features work for me, time will tell, as I gather this is not a "64-bit only version".
