Norton Internet Security 2009 3 PC 2 Year £12.88

Hi,

I have seen this on ebay its just for the licence key it sounds good but is it legal?

And were are they getting them from I know you can get keygens for software which is not legal.

Thanks for any advice :beer:

    Well you answered your own post - there's clearly a risk when buying software, licence key only, from ebay at a price that's too good to be true. Also, you haven't actually won any lottery you didn't actually buy a ticket for.

    Also, why pay for norton (legit or otherwise) when you can get equally good or better protection for free?

    I would want a lot more than £12.88 to put it on mine.

    Ask if he will increase his offer.

    There has to be an easier way to make your computer stop working properly. Maybe someone has a big hammer you can use.

    I have never had any problems been using norton for years.

    Getting back to the point is it legal?

    Unless the person selling it happens to post here, I don't think there's any way to find out aside from buying it.
