Given the invasive nature of today's malware, a system wipe and restore is often the best (and certainly safest) option to guard against rootkit-enabled keyloggers and backdoors.
From July 9th through July 12th, Paragon Software is giving away free copies of its Backup & Recovery Compact and its System Backup software, both of which normally retail for $39.95 each. To take advantage of the free offers, visit Paragon Software's free giveaway page.
I don’t see it…the only thing free there is their regular free edition…not the $ 39 one.
l do not see it either.Obviously we Overseas get this info a week later than everyone else as today is the 15th July,2010.
l give you fair warning if you have Vista do not touch any of these programs or you will regret it as l have been there and tried-result a complte re-load.Check before you leap!
You need to take into account people in the South Pacific are two days ahead of where you are we get limited time downloads too late to be able to get
I just rec’d this notice, almost 8 pm, Wednesday July 14th about the free offer — that expires July 12th; thanks — for nothing (even if well-intended).
Mary,… I thought you had been blogging long enough to know that you might want to check your links,… before posting them. There is only a trial version and not a free version of the $39 software package. Please don’t insult your readers by making claims that just are not true,.. If this is what is to come,.. I am off your email list.
I’m very sorry. The newsletter will auto-pull from the blog if I don’t manually edit it. I almost always do, but this week I got tied up at work and missed the deadline. Really sorry for the inconvenience. You’re absolutely correct, the offer ended on the 12th.

Why did you wait till the 14th to send out the message?????????
John, as mentioned I made a mistake. I apologize for the screw up. I work hard to ensure accuracy but this time around I screwed up and didn’t get to the newsletter edits in time. I’m very sorry.
– Mary
It’s alright Mary. We all screw up sometime! You have been doing a great job. Keep it up!
I originally thought “Thanks for nothing, Mary,” but I apologize. And to John, “Nobody’s perfect, we all make mistakes, even me, but I won’t admit it.” Paragon can put their free offers where the sun don’t shine.
I don’t know about overseas. I live in Kentucky USA and I just got it too. Today is July 15th anf the free offer expired three days ago. I would have taken it too. thanks for nothing
Don’t worry Mary we all screw up. Have a nice day!
People think that everyone else should be perfect. Things happen in this life and if this is the worst of disappointments in anyone’s life be thankful in stead of being disrespectful of someone at least trying to help us. Thanks Mary for having the column in the first place.
Whinners WILL get bit in the Butt, karma has a way of doing that.
Mary L. you are doing fine, Love this site.
