Surfnetkids: Anti-Virus Package

Dear Reader,
When I saw that the $39.95 price on this critically-acclaimed Norton SystemWorks package, I did a little snooping around to find out why the price was so low.
But first let me tell you about Norton SystemWorks 2003 Professional Edition for Windows, and then I'll tell you why it's on sale for this ridiculously low price.
Norton SystemWorks 2003 Professional Edition is six advanced utilities for PC protection and Windows optimization.
For just $39.95 you get *ALL* of the following:
---> Norton Anti-Virus (My virus protection of choice for many, many years.)
---> Norton Ghost
---> Norton Utilities
---> Norton Cleansweep
---> Norton WinFax
---> Roxio GoBack (A PROGRAM I COULD NEVER BE WITHOUT! More on this later.)
You've probably heard of Norton Anti-Virus, and I'm sure you are familiar with why every computer needs virus protection. I've used Norton Anti-Virus for many years, and the product is rock-solid. If you've used anti-virus software before, you also know that anti-virus data files need to be updated every two weeks to insure protection against all the latest virus strains. This package includes one year of updates.
The hidden gem in this package is (in my opinion) Roxio GoBack. I was introduced to GoBack two years ago when it came pre-installed on my new Gateway computer. I can't believe I almost removed it before I even tried it, because now that I used it for two years, I will NEVER again own a computer without it.
This miracle utility can reverse any and all mistakes, bloopers, tragedies, disasters, deletions, or mysterious accidents that befall your computer files -- as long as you recognize the error within a reasonable time frame. It performs its magic by reverting your hard drive to its exact state from an earlier time of your selection. The size of GoBack's history buffer is configurable, and depends on your needs and the size of your hard drive.
If you've ever uttered "UH OH" while working at the computer, you can probably imagine how useful GoBack is. I end up using GoBack's revert feature about once a month, and each time I do, it's worth ten times what I paid for it.
So why is this $69.95 package being sold for just $39.95 including domestic shipping? This CD-ROM product ships without a box or jewel case. It includes complete installation instructions and documentation on the CD-ROM, but does not include a dead-tree manual.
Here's the link.
See ya on the Net!
