How does WinPatrol play with other anti spyware and anti virus software (ie: ZoneAlarm, SpySweeper, Ad Aware Personal, etc.)?

Good question. I never recommend folks only use a single security program.
WinPatrol works much differently than typical security programs and is very compatible. I've used Zone Alarm for years and never had a problem.
If you have any doubts just try the free version for as long as you like. There are no time limits so you can upgrade to PLUS anytime if you're happy with WinPatrol.

Hey hc6700! I have had WinPatrol Plus now for about 8 months. The security programs playing with WinP on my PC are McAfee Firewall(stand alone version) , AVG Antivirus , SUPERAntiSpyware (paid version) , XoftSpy Antispyware scanner and SpywareBlaster with auto-update. ALL of these programs have no conflicts with either each other or with WinPatrol. Anytime I install a new program or a program tries to install an update, you can be sure that WinPatrol will advise and ask if this change is appropriate or intended. I will only say that in MY experience I have no regrets installing and buying WinPatrol.

Winpatrol has always been on e of the best products out there for making sure your puter only does what you tell it to.
Adding a KeyLogger scan is sauce for the goose.

I've had a couple or so versions of WinPatrol and have never had any problems with it. It's definitely one app I don't want to be without.

And to you, Steve Bass, curse you for introducing me to "White Dwarf"! (Just kidding!) Cool little game! :-)

Norazza rep did not want to give answer on if data on disc was readable...Instead only infered that would be difficult to open hard drive case to access disc.
