You can also get Norton 360 for $31.99

If you need a new AV program for the new year or need to update the subscription you already have you can get one of these two Norton products for a heavy discount. These are both sold through Symantec so you are buying directly from the vendor and the serial numbers will show up in your MyNortonAccount.com account.

First, go to this page where Norton Internet Security and Norton 360 are being offered at a 50% discount:
Great Deals from Norton:

After you’ve added your item to the cart use the promo code – CSHARESYM20 – to get an additional 20% off the sale price. This should save you an additional $7.

Finally, fill in your payment information and the process will be complete. You will get an email confirmation of the order which will include your product key. You can also log into MyNortonAccount.com to see your serial number and download the program for additional computers.

Considering the renewal price is usually in the $50 to $60 range for these apps it’s a significant savings. You basically get a new version for less than the renewal price. Oh and this license covers up to 3 PCs for 1 year.

Ok, the amount of hard drive space I have on this machine is unruly. Wanna guess how much? That’s right, 19TB. I currently have 11 drives hooked up to this rig. Of course that means I have a few files lying around and from time to time I misplace where I’ve left one or two of them. But it’s alright, I have a solution. I’ve become somewhat dependent on a free little app called Index Your Files. As the name suggests it indexes all the files on your system so you can find them again. This is indeed built into Windows, but I don’t find it all that reliable and the presentation of information is somewhat lacking.

Index Your Files allows you type in the filename, extension, date range or size and it will go out and get every file that meets the criteria and serve it up in a table. For the standard file formats, .doc, .xls, .avi, mp3, etc, you can click the file and it will either open or play. You can copy the file from the location and put it somewhere more meaningful, delete it, compress it or whatever other options you have built into your system.

Finding a file only takes a couple of seconds even with millions of files indexed. And the index only takes a couple of minutes to make. I think it rescans and builds an index in about 10-12 minutes.

The searching is excellent since it can find partial names. It’s quick and unobtrusive. If you’ve made a mess all over your hard drive with files that seem to span volumes then Index Your Files is worth a look. Best of all, it’s FREE!

Here some good discounts in SuperAntiSpyware, You can get the Lifetime version for under $20.

Click this link to get SAS for $9.95. Then add the additional lifetime license to your cart for $9.95. The total is 19.95. But, use the cupon code, “friend” to get a 20% discount. This will drop your price to $17.41. Not quite as good as the $14.96 they used to offer, but it’s better than $29.95 right?

The other option is to click this link and get SAS with Lifetime updates for $19.95. No messing around with adding additional items to the cart. The “friend” coupon won’t work for this deal.
