People who have known me for a while also know that one of my favorite security programs is WinPatrol. I've used WinPatrol on every computer since Windows 95. The developer, Bill Pytlovany, is a Microsoft MVP, Consumer Security, and one of the most ethical people I know.
For those interested . . .
Limited Time Offer:
Starting at noon on Monday, April 16, 2012, until noon on Wednesday, April 18, 2012, EST, WinPatrol PLUS will be available once again for purchase for the unbelievable price of 99 cents USD. In addition, the Family Pack will be offered at the special price of $9.99 USD.
To help spread the impact on the server, the download page will point to alternate download sites of the WinPatrol software. That way, hopefully no one will experience any problems retrieving their new PLUS code or have other delays due to the high traffic.
New F.A.Q.
Can I use my 99¢ WinPatrol PLUS on multiple computers.
This experiment is meant to compare a software purchase to those purchases from the Apple App Store or Droid Market. Unlike our $29.95 license, this purchase is good for one computer at a time. The cost of the Family Pack license has also been reduced to $9.99 and will allow you to create a single family PLUS code.
I heard a new WinPatrol version is coming soon. Will I have to pay again for this version?
No way. The PLUS activation you purchase for 99¢ will work with all future versions.
Can I purchase 100 copies.
Yes, but only for your own use. You must be a home user and you’ll still receive a single PLUS code for all your computers.
Do I need to download anything in advance?
If you already have the free version of WinPatrol no additional download is required. If you don’t have WinPatrol you can download and become familiar with WinPatrol at
http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html. I’ve included some alternate download sites to prevent traffic jams on WinPatrol.com. Using your PLUS code will activate the premium features hidden in the free version.

Bits from Bill for the rest of the details on this
one-day two-day event. Even if you already have a license for WinPatrol Plus, it is a great opportunity to purchase a license for a friend or family member.
