Good dog!

Pros: While looking for software to add to my computer's defense system, I came across both the COMODO firewall and WinPatrol on the same day. I looked through the descriptions of both programs, and figured that the firewall would cover everything that WinPatrol had to offer, so I left Scotty outside.

Recently, I downloaded WinPatrol out of curiosity and sure enough, curiosity kills those sneaky cats. Scotty does a great job at alerting me about changes in my computer and asks if I want to keep them. It stopped a pesky adware program that would've changed my browser's homepage, and showed me some hidden processes that belonged to old, uninstalled software.

Don't get me wrong, though. COMODO is a great firewall program that has its own strengths, but don't be fooled into thinking that WinPatrol doesn't have anything to offer to your computer's arsenal against security threats.

Cons: Where's Pinky?? :(

Warning!

Pros: My anti-virus program (avast!) found a trojan in the Frostwire installation files.

Cons: Virus!

Scary!!

Pros: Hehehe, wow. I just had a look for myself, and whew.. I was spooked.

It's like one of those viruses you see on TV shows, sent by a brilliant computer-wiz that completely overrides a computer in a humiliating way.

Cons: None.. unless you're a schizophrenic that believes the program has really infected your computer, even after it says that it was only a joke.

Although it is a possibility.. o_O
