Now with this version on x64, it gives you a UAC prompt everytime at bootup of the machine. :sarc:

I just restarted and didn't get a UAC prompt, Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit. WinPatrol 2010 PLUS v 19.1.2010.0:19.1.2010.0

 

[Airbot]

Hmm, well didn't change any settings from the 19.0 one which never did that. Just uninstalled it and installed this one. Now every boot throws up a uac prompt soon as you get to the desktop.

 

[Corrine]

I'll point Bill here to see if he has any idea what is going on.

 

[Airbot]

I got it. Had to install it as administrator, otherwise it would run a uac prompt at bootup.

 

[Corrine]

Glad you got it sorted!

This had another update today. From 19.1.2010.0 to 19.1.2010.1

   Information

WinPatrol 19.1.2010.1
* Due to an increased number of illegal versions of WinPatrol being distributed on torrent and keygen sites this version has been enhanced to make it easier for legitimate users to activate their PLUS code. While legitimate users will have easier access, illegal users will be encouraged to upgrade.
* HiJackLog updated to show correct description for Windows 7 even thought technically it's reported as version 6.
* Setup program was fixed to turn off debug mode which created two text files which aren't needed.

this program is so important in my security, i dont understand why people are too tight to buy it.

This came up after updating:

Hi, swarfega. Your post is the second one I have seen with Windows 7, 64-bit getting that WinPatrol message after updating. I didn't have the same notice on my 64-bit Win7. Had you updated to 19.1.2010.0 or skipped directly to 19.1.2010.1?

 

[swarfega]

i had .0 previously installed, and downloaded the .1 from his website.

 

[Airbot]

I got the same thing with a clean install of 2010.1

Also get the uac prompt at every boot again, and I installed it as an administrator to begin with, which fixed it in the last version.

 

[Corrine]

Strange. I've sent an e-mail to Bill. He hasn't been online since about 7 hours ago so it may be a while before hearing from him, particularly since its the weekend.

LOL at "19.1"!!

Sorry. But maybe 2011 or something that I don't have to count so high?!

 

[Airbot]

Huh?

Thanks for the reminder.

I bought a license for it some time ago - now I can't remember where it is.
