On the left, you can click on the two stopwatches to edit the time it takes before the corresponding actions take place. The options tab will present you with several report functions which you will see on the right side of the screen. Before or after killing the task, you can right click on the item and select “Delete on Reboot” to delete all traces of the program the next time you start your computer.
You can select any item in the list and kill the task.
This will show you a list of all programs and processes that were recently active. If you happen to know that you had a recent malware infection and you need to ensure that all residual traces of the program have been removed, you can use the “Recent” tab. For example, if you type the word “facebook” in the “Add” section, you can prevent the selected browser (Mozilla Firefox) from storing them. You can also select which browser you want to search and whether you want to remove them. This helps you to filter out cookies that you don’t want to keep on your computer. On the cookies tab you can search for, and remove, cookies with specific text in their titles. To change how frequently WinPatrol checks for changes to this section, just press the stopwatch and change the timer. You will also see details about the startup settings, executable name, and the company that it comes from. The services tab will show you a list of all the services on your computer that are running and stopped.
If you select an item and press the “info” button, you will also see any information related to the program’s schedule. This tab is where you can see any tasks that are scheduled to run on your computer. Since this is just a startup notification, it will not uninstall the program just prevent it from automatically turning on. If you did not install a program or recognize the change, it is safest to reject the change. You can also open the folder where the executable file is located or view the file’s properties. You can either accept or reject the change from this window. If a new entry is added, such as when you install a program, you will be asked whether or not this task has permission to start with windows.
