Question here. I bought a Dell computer late in June of '05. It came w/ one year of MacAfee anti-virus, firewall, etc, etc.
Been happy w/ it, no issues. About 6 mos ago they started hitting me w/ "renew now" at 20% savings about every month. My 1 yr subscription was up 2 months ago, yet I still download my updates every day or few.
Well the first renew that came was 20% off, then a month or so later it was 30% off...then it was 35%...then 40%, "renew now"...etc. The most recent was 50% off at $65 for a year.
Anybody have any feedback on how low they will go if I keep holding off? Or should I not be greedy and take it now. Adding a different anti-virus/firewall could cause me and my system problems. Not to mention the time involved doing an install, troubleshooting, unblocking sights that I don't want the firewall to block, permissions, etc.
Thanks, Mark
