I know there are plenty off free antiviruses out there but I decided to google for the top AV's. The Shield popped up as #1 and instead of further researching, I just decided to buy it... why? Because it was half off of 20 so at 10 bucks, I figured wth.
I went through the order process and any takers at what I was charged? $39.99.
Wait WTF?! A product that was originally 20 dollars... and was half off ended up being 40 ****ing dollars?! Apparently you have to mail in a rebate but why the hell is there a 30 dollar rebate for a product that was originally 20 dollars! This is BULL****!! I'm going to contact paypal tomorrow and file a claim.
I came across this which makes me feel even worse: http://www.ripoffreport.com/PC-Security-Shield-Shield-Deluxe-2009/Computer-Software/PC-Security-Shield-Shield-De-726F9.htm
So I guess their "toll free 1800 number" is actually NOT free. I'm going to report them to the BBB tomorrow as well.
