WinPatrol Adds Keylogger Detection

I don't always jump when I hear about an updated software version. I'll wait and see what others have to say, especially with antivirus, anti-spyware, and firewall apps.

I consider WinPatrol one of those critical apps I depend on, and don't want to mess with. Yet WinPatrol just added keylogger detection to its paid and free versions, and because I trust Bill Pytlovany, the author, I encourage you to grab the upgrade. (I definitely did!)

Check for keyloggers by checking this box


You can grab a copy of the free WinPatrol 2007 at Downloads; if you just need to upgrade (for the free and paid versions), it's here.

Quick aside: You may be interested to hear why Bill was so incensed about keyloggers that he decided to add the detection feature; see Ex-Husband Gets Jail Time for Keylogger.
