I am beginning to suspect these are just arbitrary code numbers assigned by winpatrol to make me buy the pro version.

that's not their style -- well it certainly hasn't been their style in the past. (I used their free version for years before eventually going for the paid version).

I'll take your word for it. I instructed winpatrol to disable itself from its own list of start on boot programs, and it 'proved it was a robot' by happily complying. Nice program, impressive, but none of my other defensive software is giving cryptic numerical warnings like that.
wraith808:
Did you ever contact them about it?

Affirmative. Several days ago.

I'd think that it's more likely some crapware that randomizes something (filename, registry key, ???) to avoid being easy to detect/remove. Can you post a screencap of the dialog box that WinPatrol displays (not the "PLUS Info" webpage)?
