When you double click on any program title or click on the Info... but you'll be presented with the WinPatrol Program Info windows.  This screen will display any information Scotty can find out about a program based on information on your computer. On the top of the screen you'll see the Name and Title of a program.  If the program contains additional information regarding its company, version and copyright we'll display this information.  Typically, a legitimate program will include this information. The lack of information however does not mean the program isn't safe.

"PLUS Info..."
This button is for WinPatrol PLUS members only. Clicking on PLUS Info... you'll be connected to the WinPatrol online database of program information.

"Free Info..."
While we charge a fee for PLUS Info we feel obligated to help when possible to help in cases when computers have been infected by truly undesirable mystery programs.  The Free Info... button will connect you to our list of top infiltrators so you can verify if you really want to remove a nasty program from your system. .

"Create Note"  /  "Save Note"
Introduced with WinPatrol 9.1, the Create Note button allows you to add comments and annotate programs found on your system.  Forget why you wanted to keep a program or wonder who installed it?  Add a WinPatrol note to your WinPatrol folder.
Click "Create Note" and enter any information you like.  The button text will change to "Save Note" when you've added a note. Notes will appear anytime you review information in the future and can be edited at any time.

For quick access to WinPatrol notes you can right-click on a program title on any of our main screens. If a note exists, the pop up menu will include a selection to "View Note". Using this menu item will open a note in your default text editor.
