So a while ago I spoke about how Anti-Virus software is needed but the pricing trickery is ridiculous.
Yesterday on Boxing Day here in Ottawa that point was driven home like a nail from a pneumatic nail gun.
I have noticed that the Boxing Day sales regularly have Anti-Virus software on sale so I decided I was going to wait and see what might happen with the sales.
Sure enough our Amigos at Future Shop delivered and had Norton 360 on Sale for $29.99, for 3 machines and for a 15 month subscription (remember to renew for 1 machine for 12 months was going to cost $79.99), so my patience seems to have paid off. I checked the Norton site and they had a Boxing Day sale for the same product (3 licenses Norton 360) for $69.99 (wow).
I guess we can add Anti-Virus software that you can purchase at the Boxing Day madhouse.
Sorry, it baffles me why would anyone spend money on antivirus software when excellent freeware options are available. Avast and AVG, for example, have versions that are free for personal use.
