    Thank you! Uninstalled malwarebytes for this.

  • Hey, could you elaborate on your disclosure?

    LOL. Can someone please explain how my post today, is a "Duplicate", when I posted this same deal back in JULY, BEFORE this post in SEPTEMBER - thus making THIS ONE the real duplicate?

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/627989

    Anyway… This deal is BACK ON. i.e. It comes and goes. So if you just "unexpire" an old deal page, no one will know it's available again! [Sigh.]

    Here's the extra info I added anyway in case it helps someone:


    Note:
    If like me you've had a free trial before they will recognise your email address and refuse to install. So you'll need a new email address/persona first. Here's what I did:

    1. Uninstall all Bitdefender products.

    2. Then create a new email address and/or persona (I used www.gmail.com. But with Google you'll have to log out of any current account before creating a new one. And you'll need a phone number you haven't used previously for verification.)

    3. THEN go to the deal link, follow their instructions, do the captcha etc, entering the new email address/persona you just created.

    (First-time users can just click straight through using the deal link. No need to create a new email address.)


  • To Adelv: No, Windows Security will never be enough, just as ESET, Panda, or Bitdefender will never be enough. Not only does Microsoft have a pitiful track record going back decades (which still continues to day with their forced updates that crash people's systems and no CD-ROM provided so they can get back online without a computer tech), but they frequently drag their feet by not patching widely-known flaws for months. External antivirus authors often address these holes months before Microsoft gets around to it. So installing multiple antivirus makes sense because one may catch something the other lets breeze right on through.

    To dtoovey: If you meant can a registered user extend their subscription, then no. You wouldn't lose it, but you wouldn't extend it either. (You'd just have to enter your subscription info again to get your original expiry back.) Otoh, if your subscription was due to expire before this deal, or if you meant can someone already part way through an older trial take advantage, then yes: by uninstalling, sign up with a fresh email address, reinstall.

    To wiffy: I've seen that video myself and stopped viewing it at the time after hearing several flaws in his logic.

    Doowyah: No, as I pointed out above, it's not a dupe. I posted before this deal a few months before this thread. So if we're going to delete "dupes" then THIS thread should be deleted as it was posted after mine. But BOTH moves are silly because this deal is not available 24/7/365. It comes and goes. So when it becomes valid again, no-one knows about it before it's over again. This site policy should be dropped. Because I've seen revived threads on here where a deal is marked "long running", but the earlier comments are completely different to the latter ones, which only serves to confuse people. i.e. The deal/thread turns available again, and people read through the comments, do what they say, and it doesn't work! In this case it does, but I've seen other threads that were a complete dog's breakfast. Once a deal expires, even temporarily, a new post should apply each time, regardless of who types it.

    bonezAU: Yep I did know about the gmail trick. But I seem to be hitting more sites that can decode/recognise the real email address is the same one, which ends up doubling the amount of work required. e.g. Kogan is one. So it was just easier to say "make a new email address" than to explain both and type both sets of instructions "just in case".

  • Not that anyone will read any of that… because this deal went "expired", so just opening it again without making a new post means no-one will see it.

  • Deal has expired

  • I just checked too, this deal is expired. But thanks for sharing it, wish I got here in time.
