WinPatrol: 100 Best Products of 2007

PC World selected my favorite, WinPatrol, as Lucky 13 in the The 100 Best Products of 2007! In honor of the selection, Bill Pytlovany announced that he is taking $5 off all WinPatrol PLUS upgrades for the rest of the month. (Offer good until June 1st. Go to http://www.winpatrol.com/100best.html.)

Although WinPatrol is free for non-commercial use, there are additional features and benefits to the Plus version. The table below from the WinPatrol comparison page clearly illustrates the many functions available in WinPatrol. Unlike other real-time protection software, there isn't an annual fee to renew your WinPatrol license. So, in honor of this great acknowledgment of an outstanding software program, consider WinPatrol Plus.
