Sorry to say, because there are so many varying configurations involved and surfing habits differ from individual to individual, there is no such thing as a universal solution. What\u2019s best for one may not work well for someone else. However, there is one program which comes very close to a \u2018one size fits all\u2019 solution, that program is WinPatrol.<\/p>\n<p>WinPatrol is available in both Free and PLUS versions and is among those esteemed programs which have well and truly passed the test of time, establishing a stellar reputation along the way So, what makes WinPatrol a contender for ideal companion to traditional anti-virus software:<\/p>\n<h3><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.davescomputertips.com\/2012\/01\/winpatrol-the-ideal-way-to-augment-your-security\/\" target=\"_blank\">Article continued here<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n<p>This excerpt is shared with permission from davescomputertips.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20110628savestips.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"davescomputertips.com\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-18914\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s best for one may not work well for someone else.
