When I first got WinPatrol it was the Number 1 program to have to Alert you. It was installed but just sat there by the clock doing nothing or I thought that. It just did not have anything to alert me about because I did a good job on my own to help protect things.
But years later I keep getting an alert my hosts file was changing. Too a little time to find out this other scanner for malware I thought keep finding something was not finding anything but was deleting bad sites I was blocking from my hosts file. So I would keep finding this doing a scan after I update my hosts file.
Sorry I forget the scanner program name but think it was when we had WinPatrol 10 or around that time.
Edit: It was cwshredder and that program we don't even use today. It was only sites from hosts file so never really found anything bad on my computer.
That was 10 years ago.

It's a program worth having and even worth getting the Plus version.
We got new owner now so lets hope he has great one day deals so you can buy it cheap. But at what every price your get free updates for life so still a great deal. It's a
must-have program and your see that all over the web.
