In the February 2005 article "Why is my computer running so slow?" we introduced you to malware (e.g., spyware, adware, etc.) and the dampening effects it can have on your system. But it can be difficult to locate which files are malicious, and which are beneficial-if you can find them at all. Investigating the nature of every program on your PC can take a great deal of time. However, with WinPatrol 8.1.2.0, a freeware program available from BillP Studios, you no longer have to spend hours tracking down the source and identity of a mysterious Startup menu resident, browser add-ons, and spontaneous advertisements. This program monitors and detects changes to your PC, including programs from the web that may install without your consent. For people who download a lot of software from the internet, WinPatrol can help keep your Windows machine optimized, sifting the diamonds from the slate.
