118938 2003-02-07 05:51:00 When you click on the link given by Billy T in the original post, the box's labels looks like its been altered (some blurriness and fuzziness around the labels). Does anyone else notice this, or is my monitor fooling my eyes? caffy (2665)

That image has been altered. The Nortons SystemWorks 2003 Pro box has a different pattern of "spokes" on the front. However, if you click on the "buy" link, the correct box is displayed on that page.

118941 2003-02-07 10:17:00 Well I was checking the bosses' email whilst he was away. First time I saw the spam I wondered whether I should save it for him.

Over the 6 weeks he would have had as many spams about Norton as he did Viagra - from as many different email addresses.

Personally I'd give it a miss.

118942 2003-02-07 11:11:00 Helloo Billy

Well maybe those guys are running around with some free promotional copies given by Symantec and now selling it . Sometime ago i filled out a promotion from symantec for a FREE Copy of System Works 2003 from their website to receive the software and guess what . I am still waiting :D

But i just did for the heck of it and below is the e-mail i got from them .

(XXX just replaces name) ;\

Well as you see from the date . . . Its few months now than few weeks .
i might as well go to DSE and get one, or better still have it for free from K?Z?A ]:) ]:)

Cheers

118943 2003-02-07 11:51:00 Not sure about the deal above but the format of the ad looked similar to others that I have seen on ebay. I searched the site and found same product for $15.95US as 'buy now' price. At least with ebay you can view feedback from ppl and take a more calculated risk.... by the look of it at a cheaper price.

118944 2003-02-07 19:00:00 Hi again Billy T,

Have a look at page 2 in the business software .



Many of our compadres on the forum use 9software . com and are satisfied with product and service . Try this link: < . 9software . com/shopdisplayproducts . asp?Search=Yes>" target="_blank">www . 9software . com
Eighteen dollars plus shipping for the pro version is really a good deal .

118945 2003-02-07 19:44:00 Sorry about that Bill Thomas (1820)
118946 2003-02-07 20:55:00 Well Kiwitas

I had my doubts about the spam offer but my own research didn't find any clear confirmation that it was a scam, it was just the low price that worried me. I didn't really find out much more from the responses so far to my post either.

Now you've gone and put the cat among the pigeons well and truly! US$18 puts 9software.com slap-bang into serious scam pricing territory yet you are saying that it is genuine and PF1 users have bought software from this source?

Atr this point the $18 is no longer the issue, it is how much they might surcharge for freight or what might be done with my credit card details. Are you saying that 9software prices and products are genuine?

Cheers
