I couldn't find any reviews anywhere so i just wondered if anyone here had had any experiences with this supplier?

Thanks.

    What supplier? The Computer Active magazine store?

    Depends what your after. Subscribe or install the free trials and often you will get good deals to purchase the software.

    Sorry - been busy. Software. AV software to be precise.

    AV software? Is that audio/visual or anti-virus?

    If antivirus, are none of the free ones suitable?

    Yes, i don't think they do audiovisual software. It was actually a lifetime MWB 3.1 licence they had up for grabs, but there are a lot of shady deals around for this particular product and i wondered if they might be safe bet. It is now rather predictably showing 'no stock'. MWB free is fine but i prefer real-time protection.

    In any event, it seems from the few replies that the answer to the original question is pretty much "no" - in line with the other searches i did. Which seems rather surprising.

    I did find a kosher (i think!) MWB 1.75 lifetime licence from the US for under a tenner, which is working fine so far - on 2 PCs :-)

    Thanks anyway.

    I got MWB Corporate for free quite a while ago, via a link recommended on this very board. :)
