I downloaded it and got the conficker worm.

Have been running it for 3 yrs in conjunction with Zonealarm, AVG, Spysweeper & recently with PC Tools Threatfire. None of these programs have highlighted Winpatrol as a threat.I have recently installed Prevex 3.0 & this product has called it a worm, but I don't agree & have notified them.

I also used WinPatrol. Now I’m using AnVir Task Manager, it’s the best solution for my PC. It manages startup programs and active processes, removes spyware. It shows full information about each process including command line, inbound and outbound traffic, disk load, tray icon, performance graph, internet connections
