Congratulations to our good friend and guest columnist Bill Pytlovany.
Last week, USA Today singled out WinPatrol as a “terrfic tool” in the fight against “poisoned SEO results (that) can re-direct your browser to a website serving up all sorts of malicious programs.”
“And here’s a tip: WinPatrol offers very powerful protection. It’s a terrific free tool, popular with techies since it was created 10 years ago by Bill Pytlovany, one of the original designers of AOL and a longtime open-source practitioner. The premier version, called WinPatrol Plus, costs just $30 for a lifetime subscription, which includes all updates, and is designed for the average consumer. WinPatrol takes a snapshot of your Windows run registry, and from then on blocks and alerts you to any new executable program, such as a malicious backdoor, that tries to install itself on your hard drive.”
