Looks like they aren't going to deliver - they are just cancelling and refunding next week.

Buy Aussie Now on Ian Scuffs $26.70 Delivered (Was $89) @ UggAustralia via BuyAussieNow

[Deactivated] on Ian Scuffs $26.70 Delivered (Was $89) @ UggAustralia via BuyAussieNow

The code worked for me at the checkout, but they billed my card the full amount. Checkout fraud from BuyAussieNow!

I prefer ESET to Kaspersky, both are good, but ESET gives you more control over the firewall.
