Discounted Computer Security Software

Not sure whether anyone else will have noticed this but if you go onto a bank's website and read their pages regarding security they normally say that they offer discounted security software (like Norton and McAfee) to their customers. I've noticed First Direct and Barclays both do this but when clicking through the links at no point do you ever need to prove your a customer of that particular bank.

Just a way of saving 10% or so!

  • be careful though... I did this with Barclays because they scared me with their stuff about people taking my details, but a little while later I found the same software cheaper from e-buyer.com
