Ok, so here is my first post on this site. So hope everyone enjoys it as I know we all like to get a bargain.

Here is a deal whereby you can obtain Norton Antivirus at DSE for $34.90 with shipping and then claim a $40.00 rebate from Norton. Therefore obtaining Norton Anti Virus for free and having enough change to get a free lunch.

http://au.norton.com/now/en/AU_SITE/pu/images/Promotions/201…

Who ever said there is no such thing as a free lunch??

You could also get office works to price match if you wish to pick up in store and get an extra 5% discount.

Unsure why it is this cheap, perhaps a mistake given this is $98 at most places.

Enjoy

      • wfdTamar on 20/11/2012 - 07:45

        Emsisoft is very good and a reasonable price if you get 3 years worth. I'm a computer tech and always use it to clean up after others. Malwarebytes is good as a second antivirus that you just run occasionally (because you can choose not to have it run actively all the time).

    The backup 5GB is so you can backup your computer in the event that Norton fails to detect a virus that destroys your computer, which maybe likely…

    • couger on 19/11/2012 - 23:40

      or maybe backup the virus in case you has clean them by mistake.

    • scrimshaw on 20/11/2012 - 03:34

      5GB is unfortunately not enough to even backup Windows, unless you're using a lightened version of Windows XP.

      Still, is that 5GB perpetually yours to use or does it expire after the license is over?

  • krisspy on 19/11/2012 - 23:25

    So I'm assuming this takes details relating to your computer with the registration? So you cant just install on the same computer with different serials? $10 profit is nothing to scoff at…

        • krisspy on 19/11/2012 - 23:50

          Are you going to install one box for each terminal or all 4 in one? Never used norton so i wouldn't know how their registering works. Plus i only have 6 computers at home… 6 isn't enough for a new hard drive :/

        • hippo2s on 19/11/2012 - 23:58

          I remember entering it into a window (could be product or on their account website) which extended an existing license i had on just one machine so it is definitely possible.

        • krisspy on 20/11/2012 - 00:06

          Oooh ok. So by registering 2 serials in one computer, you'll effectively just increase the subscription and still get 2 cashbacks. Btw do you know if this is sent by mail or electronic?

        • Mr RS on 20/11/2012 - 00:08

    • machej on 20/11/2012 - 00:03

The claimant must then visit the www.norton.com/anz/cashbacks site, and follow the instructions to enter a claim via the Symantec Online Redemption Centre.

    • Daabido on 20/11/2012 - 07:54

      Not a dumb question but here's a question back for you? Why do you want Norton for Mac?

      Having run Macs since the late 1980s, I can safely say I have never had a problem which required anti-virus software. Yes, there are a couple of malwares which have been created for the Mac and given the installed user base now, more will be created in the future. But I will personally wait until this is more of a problem before I look at software which will slow down my Mac, which has been my experience with the Windows Norton products I have used over the years.

      Some people with Macs who share documents they have received from Windows users with other Windows users use an anti-virus product as a prudent method of not relaying those viruses. If that is why you are interested, do a Google search and you'll find there are quite a few good and free products out there for the Mac. Just read a few articles to make an informed decision.

      The other steps you can take are keeping your OS up to date, buying apps through the App Store on your Mac. Primarily malware protection and identity theft and the like are more likely to be a problem from social engineering, where an email from a trusted source like a friend whose computer has been infected sends you a link to something to download and because you trust them, you download it, open it, install it, etc. Or other emails claiming to be from your bank which look real but actually send you to a dummy site to collect your data. There are products you can use to protect yourself, the best one being your brain. Look to see what any link is before clicking on it by hovering over the top of it. If it says suncorp.heeheehacketimexyz035823580.org then don't open it. If your "bank" or other financial institution is sending you an email, call them to confirm.

      You could also use OPENDNS if you have a static IP address, 1Password which will only allow you to enter your password if the site is valid and a whole bunch of other good ideas are out there.

      I'm not saying you don't need malware / anti-virus protection on a Mac, but just there are free and inexpensive alternatives out there if you have a look.

      EDIT : Also before investing in anti-virus software on the off chance you get one, I would suggest setting up your backup strategy first to protect your data in case of an incident. I suggest a dual backup regime which can be automated and use a single external hard drive; Time Machine and SuperDuper. Have a read why it is a good idea to have both installed.

      Yes, there are reasons to keep data secure at an off-site location too, such as on the cloud or an external hard drive located at another physical location, but this would be a good start. Hopefully in time Apple will beef up its iCloud product to be a bit more DropBox like. It would be nice if we could just use our computers without having to worry about all this, but such if modern life.
