    Sorry to ask this, but my local Circuit City was sent the sales circular for NEXT week rather than for this week. Thus, I tried to pricematch McAfee VirusScan 5.0 (selling for $14.99 at Circuit City) at Office Depot (who sells it for $29.99), but they wouldn't budge withouth seeing a printed add.

    You can get VirusScan 5.0 free (after $10 mail-in rebate):

    $14.99-($29.99-$14.99)*0.55 - $10.00 = -$3.26.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks a bundle. I really appreciate it. Too bad I couldn't get one of those Circuit City sales circulars for next week to post a few deals. Of course, CC usually sucks, so I probably wouldn't have too much to report.

    Just got mine!

    $6.74 after price match, $7.15 with 6% sales tax, and before $10 rebate... I'd try to hurry on this one though guys - I grabed the last box in my local OfficeDepot... must be lots of GotApex users around my neighborhood.

    One last note, it doesn't say "version 5.0" anywhere on the box, so if they try to question whether the software is the same (even though the picture looks exactly like it, they still wanted to verify it when I bought mine), the sku number is listed in the add and matches the sku number on the retail box.

    The McAfee Viruscan 5.0 box looks different from previous viruscan boxes.

    Virusscan 4.0--> <img src="http://a452.g.akamai.net/f/452/82/1h/necxdirect.necx.com/graphics/products/f131402.gif" border="0"> Virusscan 5.0--> <IMG src="http://shop.compusa.com/images/product/f/virusdetection/vsf-0001-na-500_f.gif" border="0">

    Hey, never mind about scanning in the Circuit City flyer. Thanks for the assistance, though.

    I just went to the Circuit City web site and clicked on the weekly ad specials link. I printed them out, took them to OD, and presto . . . $7.15 for Mcafee VirusScan 5.0 (with $10 rebate coupon in hand)!

I checked my CC add and it wasn't there so I went to the store and VS5 was 34.00 I was totally lost, so I called CC and they said that Saint Louis was not particpating in this discount, wierd huh, they said theyd honor it though, ha i told them no you won't OD will!
