\n“Very Powerful Protection”<\/strong><\/a><\/font>
\n
\n“And here’s a tip: WinPatrol offers very powerful protection …
\npopular with techies since it was created 10 years ago by Bill Pytlovany, one of the original
\ndesigners of AOL and a longtime open-source practitioner. The premier version, called WinPatrol Plus,
\ncosts just $30 for a lifetime subscription<\/b>, which includes all updates, and is designed for the average consumer.
\nWinPatrol takes a snapshot of your Windows run registry, and from then on blocks and
\nalerts you to any new executable program, such as a malicious backdoor, that tries to install itself on your hard drive.”
