thinking about re-installing winpatrol(used long time ago)

it it considered real-time protection and if so,will it conflict with my spy sweeper and ewido which are real time?
and also with my in/out firewall?
is it really necessary to have with all the security i have now?there is such a thing as over-kill?

any help or advise would be appreciated ::slight_smile: 8) ;D :smiley:

I think they won’t conflict. At least, not with ewido. WinPatrol is a monitor program, not a low level antispyware/antitrojan/antivirus.
With the firewall, for sure, no conflict.

I have avast + Kerio firewall + WinPatrol. Ewido just for on-demmand scanning.
WinPatrol is very very light on resources consumption 8)

thanks tech :wink:
i’ll give winpatrol a try again…is that required to start up with windows or not?
did you see my comment about your faq,links,etc in the home topic section under 50% CPU?

:slight_smile: Hi Doc :

 About a yr ago I asked "BillP" on the WinPatrol forum on
 castlecops about how much protection it would give & I
 listed my security programs; his reply was probably very
 little based on what I already had on my computer .
 Perhaps you should visit their forums if you have not
 already done so !?

I have Winpatrol 9.8.1.0:9.8.1.0. It works fine with Ewido that I have, plus I have Spysweeper 4.5.9. build 709. They all work fine with no conflicts on my machine. :slight_smile: Whether you add it to what you have already is just personal choice or preference.
