Digital Patrol

One can never have enough protection against spyware, since this is the kind of software that is designed to steal private information. If you already have an antivirus program in place, more protection could never hurt, especially if you are thinking of installing Digital Patrol. It may not look like much on the surface, but the software relies on cutting-edge technologies to protect your system, including cloud-based scanning. The best part is that it can be used in conjunction with any existing antivirus programs.

The software is free to try for three weeks, without any functionality restrictions. It is compatible with all Windows versions, from the old and dusty Windows 95 to the sleek Windows 8. It can be installed in just a few moments and, as previously suggested, it won't stir any conflicts if you already have an antivirus program installed.

When launched, Digital Patrol will scan your system's startup section automatically and it will eliminate any threat it may find on the way. Once the scan is complete, you may start your own custom scan on your local drives. All you have to do is tell the program where to scan and click a button.

There is no need to go through any kind of menus and make any settings when using Digital Patrol. Its compact user interface presents your local drives and folders in a tree structure, just like in Windows explorer. You only need to tick one or more folders and click a Start button, located on the left side of the interface. The scanning process can be paused or stopped at any time, with controls from the same area.

Once the scan is complete, the program will present a short report, with total figures for infected files, detected threats, suspicions and others. Additionally, the application will create a more detailed report, in a plain text file, which you can open immediately, with a single click. The best features of Digital Patrol are speed and efficiency. The software won't bother you with any warnings which turn out to be false positives. Also, it won't keep you waiting for too long when it scans your drives.
