PestPatrol
Different content from Pestpatrol (which is already on VfD and was changed into a redirect, original content here), but no less an advertisement. In other words: spam, delete. - Mike Rosoft 17:38, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete that spam. DaveTheRed 20:56, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm convinced. Keep. DaveTheRed 06:47, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. A significant program, and the article is not without merit.  File on cleanup for NPOV. -- John Fader 01:10, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 *  Cleanup and Rewrite, but Keep article. This is a very popular program and having no article would subtract mach from Wikipedia. Tezeti
 * Cleanup. It is a notable software, but the article is pure advertisement. A stub would be better off. --Sn0wflake 01:19, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, cleanup and expand. Megan1967 02:21, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep This gets 805,000 Google hits! Come on, now. Doesn't even need all that much cleanup as far as I can discern. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  02:33, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep It is totally possible to talk about a software product intelligently without having it as an 'advertisement'. I often look up closed source software / shareware on Wikipedia before downloading it to confirm it isnt malware and to see if there are any negative aspects to it. --ShaunMacPherson 06:03, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. I have this program here at work.  Absolutely fantastic.  It works in real time blocking spyware and gives an audible notice that it's working.  This article isn't an ad at all unlike the one with the similar title. - Lucky 6.9 20:21, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep (Sort of.) If this article were cleaned up really thoroughly and slotted into an entire category of articles encapsulating anti-malware, it would have a bit of context and look a bit more NPOV (in context). As it is now, it just creeps me out a bit. -- Gnoitall 01:51, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * 850,000 hits? That's all?  Hmmm.  Delete.  And by delete I mean EXTREME KEEP.  &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 04:23, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Caesura 05:50, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Cleanup. It is a bit of a 'blow your own trumpet' job. --Haggis 15:03, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
