winpatrol

[drhayden1]

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

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

thanks tech
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?

   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.  Whether you add it to what you have already is just personal choice or preference.

hey spiritsongs-and thanks neal63 for the reply
haven't installed it yet,i will go to their forum and snoop around and see if i can see any topic regarding if i need it or whatever
as you can see on my profile,i really,really think i have enough already
i got a question for you about my ad-aware se plus,do i need the ad-watch on if my full version spy sweeper and ewido are in the background
and i finally got a in/out firewall that i really like and works great from you and davidr suggesting i needed one,thanks you two for helping me on that.
