It\u2019s essential since we don\u2019t advertise and depend on word of mouth to let people know they should download WinPatrol and upgrade to WinPatrol PLUS. The few people who upgrade to PLUS allow us to continue giving away a free version.<\/p>\n<p>One of the positive elements of our software is that we\u2019ve never included 3rd party crap software like toolbars in our setup program. I consider this an insult to our users and while I could make a lot of money it\u2019s just wrong. Many of you have read about my constant battle with Ask.com(IAC) who thinks WinPatrol should include a custom version of their search toolbar.<\/p>\n<p>Read: <a
