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

    I find the Norton haters hard to take seriously. I'be used Norton NIS for more than ten years on a succession of laptops, netbooks and desk tops, never had an intrusion incident in all that time (with DAILY use) and when I've needed assistance (usually with licence renewals) Norton (Symantec) support is online (real people) 24 x 7!! Really could not have been better performance and service over the long run….Oh and I bought the DSE deal….thanks Mr Jeep!

      Above-all, they were known for making bloatware, that would turn expensive hardware into a Celeron, and was hard to remove. To stick with one brand through all those years, despite tons of repeated negative press/reviews, and a top-end price… Fanboi.

      • IamEzza on 22/11/2012 - 00:31

        At the risk of being flamed I have to agree with cornucopia.. mostly.

        I have been repairing PCs for around 13 years, so I have seen my fair share of virus infections, and Norton installations.

        Prior to it's redesign in 2009 Norton 100% deserved its reputation for being utter crap. It would transform a PC that ran fine without anti-virus to a machine that ran slow as molasses. Every year that went by they would add more and more bloat.
        Finally in 2009 after receiving huge amounts of terrible reviews/feedback they wrote an entirely new antivirus from scratch - and it actually turned out pretty good! It now has a very low impact on system performance and runs pretty lean and mean. By no means is it perfect but it doesn't deserver the bashing it still gets from everyone that remembers how bad it used to be.
        For the price of -$5 it's hard to argue that it is bad value!

        MSE used to be fantastic, very low impact on performance, good detection, virtually 0 false positives, FREE. Problem is MS hasn't been as diligent in keeping it up to date to protect from new viruses. And because it is now so popular it has become targeted by virus makers and many new viruses can either bypass it or even disable it.

        Avast seems the best overall free AV to me, and is always kept up to date. Some people tend to get confused by the free yearly registration process though.

    Antivirus should be subsidised from the government anyway. The economic/social costs justify it IMO. Instead they leave all manner of education and production to the private sector.

    It only gets tricky when the government can coerce AV providers to add "extra" features though.

    • Cluster on 20/11/2012 - 11:53

      "Antivirus should be subsidised from the government anyway" And the government gets all its money from the people in the form of taxes. We end up paying for it anyway.

      • machej on 20/11/2012 - 16:46

        Yea, i'd rather people just download some free stuff and less taxes for all. The problem is that the government should have a viral campaign (like metro did) to alert everyone the importance to simply download something like MSE.

  • sjq1122 on 20/11/2012 - 09:22

    Hi Sounds like good offer but ,I was reading Terms and conditions for rebate .
    it says on point 5
    http://au.norton.com/now/en/AU_SITE/pu/images/Promotions/201…

    that

    "The Offer is not valid in conjunction with any other rebate or bonus offer(s) except in-box bonus items."

    So just wondering is it eligible for cashback? (as rebate $40 is more than its sale price $29)

    Good deal for the ones who want Norton.
    I used to have it years ago, then moved to Avira. Never regret about it.
    Avira is made in Germany, Norton - in US. So, the quality of products is correlated with a country of origin.

    • cornucopia on 20/11/2012 - 10:14

      Have you ever eaten a German meal?? How many German restaurants have you been to, ever?? How many German CDs in your Rock collection? ' So much for 'country of origin' theory!! The Germans do SOME things well, not EVERYTHING!!

      • Foma2 on 21/11/2012 - 11:20

        Mate, do not get me wrong. I have nothing against US at all, but imho US lost a lot of its spirit within last 20 years or so.
        So, when you say quality, for me it means Germany or Japan.
        I know they've outsorced a lot stuff as well but they still have very high quality control and production standards.
        Anyway, answering your question, most of my electronic goods made in Germany or Japan. My car made in Japan. My DSLR made in Japan as well.
        Again I do not want to say that all American stuff is bad : "The Americans do SOME things well, not EVERYTHING." ;-)
        btw I voted positive as if you want Norton, it is a very good deal.

        • EnALup on 21/11/2012 - 21:37

          Check again, if You bought those products recently, they might be designed in Japan and assembled in China :)

        • Foma2 on 22/11/2012 - 09:56

          P&S (with a lens made in Germany), DSLR and a car all made in Japan. I reckon some of my lenses assembled in Thailand, from components produced in Japan.

      Actually alot of software is out sourced to India and China nowadays. So I wouldn't shop software based on country of the brand's origin, to do that would just be…weird!

    • IamEzza on 22/11/2012 - 00:36

      Avira is very highly regarded for it's high detection rates and low system impact.

      It doesn't have a very user friendly interface though and isn't as user friendly in general as other AVs.

      • Foma2 on 22/11/2012 - 09:59

        If you have any particular difficulties with Avira interface, I am more than happy to help you, mate.
        I was not to happy when they added one more pop up screen for virus detection in version 10 but overall its interface is quite intuitive.

  • congo on 20/11/2012 - 10:19

    Is this product subscription based? If so, then I assume that the 2013 version only gives you updates for one year?

    • hippo2s on 20/11/2012 - 12:31

      I had used 2010 code to extend my 2011 subscription, so year naming is useless. Fact is you make a purchase, you are entitled to 12 months, regardless of which year, it'll most likely be moved to the latest version anyway.

  • quirki on 20/11/2012 - 10:23

    OP: Do you have to activate all 3 keys to claim the cashback?

    • Mr RS on 20/11/2012 - 10:33

        yes you can and it even says so in the conditions you linked to..

        "But if you have time left on your current subscription, this doesn't mean you have to miss out on the rebate. Go ahead and install your new Norton product - then contact Norton Product Support and ask to have the remaining days on your old subscription transferred to your new subscription."

        I have been doing this for years without any issues. I have been paid by Norton to have 360 on my PC's each year. I am very happy with the last 3 versions of 360, the ones before that were resource hogs and terrible.

      Uninstall 360. Installed Norton Int. security.
      added code. Activated code under the same email address. Applied for rebate and added the time left for my 360 to this account.

      If you have multiple packs. They will add the days for all packs.

  • simiot on 21/11/2012 - 02:27

    I've used NIS for several years & it works ok. Some years ago it was heavy on resources but in the last few years it is much leaner. Its good for scanning downloaded files. I have come across 1 or 2 problematic files with it. You're probably paying for the customer service more than anything &, its good service. NIS isn't a bad security setup, I'm just not sure if its the best, these days.

    2x Rebates lodged, 2 more to do tomorrow

    1. Install from CD, enter first code.
    2. Click on Support - Enter product code, and enter in 2nd code.
    3. Repeat if you want to for each additional year.
    4. Contact support, i choose chat - easiest without needing to call - took about 5 min to wait in queue, then jsut tell them
    5. 'Consolidate my activations into a single key', then just tell them which you are on, they may ask you for serial, so open up Support - Help - About and quote them the 'Serial Key'.

    6. Done.

    7. Go lodge that Rebate claim! (no purchase validation - the activation of key does that apparently) - just select where you purchased it and some address details and name, done!

    Very easy.

    Hope this helps someone

      IMO, even though you are allowed to lodge multiple Rebates (it's just a simple web system without strict verification), it does not assure the multiple $40 cash back will be approved later (maybe by human)

    I activated another cd-key on one comp and it just made the days go to 366. Why doesn't it add them on to make it two years? :(

      Call Norton support and they will add up the keys.

    just to confirm: If we bought one copy (valid for 3 installations on 3 different pcs) we cannot join these onto the one pc and extend our subscription period?

      No. It is for 3 different devices.
