If you don’t want some applications to add themselves to your computer startup menu or associate files to themselves, simply try WinPatrol. This program helps to monitor your computer by simply preventing the addition of certain applications to your computer startup menu. WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts or informs you of any changes that may occur outside your knowledge. As a matter of fact, this is one of the first programs to start using a heuristic behavioral approach to detecting attacks and violations of your computing environment. That means that as a user of this program, one can benefit from the experience of other users of WinPatrol.

Although WinPatrol also has its pro or paid versions, this free version is still well-packaged to get the job done. The size is amazingly light compared to what it can actually do on your computer. It keeps you in total control of your computer startup, making sure no unwanted addition is made to it during startups. WinPatrol uses the cloud technology to protect and monitor your computer; enabling you to share and benefit from other users of the program. The free version is strong enough to deal with some particular kinds of unwanted programs that pose grave dangers to your system, but not really as strong as the premium or the WinPatrol Plus.
