This is kind of the backdoor way of getting Norton Internet Security 2009. This offer is actually the NIS 2008 bundle, but Norton is giving free upgrades to NIS 2009. I actually installed NIS 2007 on the family computer last November. I’ve gotten free upgrades to NIS 2008 and then to NIS 2009 this week. Symantec even sent out e-mails to inform customers of the free upgrades. So this wasn’t some hidden offer.
$69.99 – 45 MIR – 20 up-grader MIR = $4.99 + s&h (Rebates good thru 10/30/08.)
NIS2008/Ghost/Partition Magic Bundle @ Frys (http://shop3.frys.com/product/5571550?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG)
From PC Magazine: This is definitely the slimmest, most unobtrusive Norton ever, yet its protection is top-notch where it counts. Certainly, there are plenty of crusty old users out there who will refuse to believe that Norton can be a quick, speedy suite. Don't listen to them—they're living in the past. That's not to say the suite doesn't have its problems. The antispam is useless, and the parental controls are rudimentary. But this is definitely the best all-around security suite I've ever seen; I'll be installing it on my own systems. I've still got several suites left to review this year, and any one of them has the chance to dethrone Symantec's, but, for now, Norton Internet Security 2009 is our new Editors' Choice for security suites. I'll keep testing, but Symantec has set a dauntingly high bar. Full PC Magazine Review. (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2330018,00.asp)
