Does WinPatrol monitor my keystrokes?
NO!
Unfortunately, some programs have incorrectly indicated that Scotty is a keystroke spy. WinPatrol (PatrolPro.dll) uses a common Windows function called SetWindowsHook which allows Scotty to monitor some activities. This generic function is used by Windows to monitor a variety of actions including mouse clicks, internal messages, keystrokes, syscommands. In WinPatrol's case we use it to be notified when a new window is about to be created. A new window is one of the triggers used by R.I.D. to indicate a possible change in your installed programs.
WinPatrol will never communicate with the internet unless you specifically request information.
