Norton isn't alone.

I've spent decades trying to educate my family, friends and colleagues to be careful online and always obey Rule 1: Don't download ANY program file unless you know what it's for and what it will install/do on your PC.

Now Microsoft has trampled over that advice with the lure of shiny prizes. :mad:

Probably not worth entering, then?

Nope, I ain't doing what they ask even for the chance of some prizes.

Thanks for posting. There's also a postal entry route for those who don't want to download/run the program.

(from T&Cs point 2):

Alternative method of entry: you can also enter each week’s draw by sending a postcard or sealed envelope with your name, address and contact telephone number to

Thin Martian,
32-37 Cowper St,
London,
EC2A 4AW

each week of the promotion, to arrive no later than 9am on each Tuesday at the end of each weekly prize draw period during the duration of the promotion.

I'll link this to postals here.

I had no problems doing it, and I'm savvy, before you ask.

All it's doing is changing your homepage (which you can change straight back) and your default search engine (many of you may already have Bing).

Just hope I win now, especially that Windows 7 phone...... I want one!!! (Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee) lol

For some reason it's not changing my homepage, and search engine??

marcofoo

So we have to make it our homepage on a weekly basis?

Anybody who is not happy about changing their homepage and search engine should do what I do. I have Firefox, Explorer and Chrome. I use Firefox for almost everything and Explorer whenever a comp needs to change my settings.
