At the time Bill created WinPatrol, IE was the major browser being used.  Thus, the need for monitoring IE Helpers.  This explains the specific purpose of IE Helpers.  WinPatrol Features: IE Helpers.  Although adding the ability to monitor and remove toolbars for other browsers to WinPatrol would be helpful, there are other tools that can aid in their removal.  Consider, for example, AdwCleaner.

LoneWanderer,

We are considering additional features for adding into WinPatrol so that it can evolve with technology. We're always happy to hear suggestions.

The IE specific tabs are nearing their end of relevance as even Microsoft is desperately trying to kill off that browser.

Reporting on other browsers sounds interesting, but with the plethora of browsers that now exist reporting on such things could be challenging even with most of them being based on either Mozilla or Chrome.

Windows 10 continues to evolve, we will be updating how Start-up and delayed startup work in the next release because Microsoft has changed those quite a bit recently.

We are scouting around for new features.

Thanks,
Bret.

I REALLY like that delayed startup feature. Came in handy for Google Drive's GoogleSync executable that I was having issues with on startup. The WinPatrol delay setting fixed the issue on Windows 7. I've had no issues with OneDrive on Windows 10. If MS had a 100GB OneDrive plan I'd use them instead for a paid option, 50GB just isn't quite enough and the Office365 plan is the next step up, and just too much for me.
