Well, I know some people aren't huge fans of Mail In Rebates, but this one is a killer deal. And I should know. I just bought myself a brand new notebook computer and am now in that painful position of buying brand new software. Lots of it. So this CompUSA deal is great. It retails at $79.99 but after the $80 M.I.R. you get it for free. In fact, if we're counting, you get it for minus 1 cent.

PLEASE NOTE: AS ONE EAGLE-EYED WISEBREAD READER POINTED OUT, THIS REBATE IS ONLY GOOD IF YOU HAVE AN OLDER VERSION OF NORTON ANTIVIRUS. If you are a brand new customer, this rebate WILL NOT APPLY.

Just go here and place your order. If you do it online it'll take 2-4 weeks to arrive, so not ideal if you're running out of protection any day now. But, you can pick it up instore. And not only do you get Norton Antivirus 2007, you also get Ghost 10.0. What's that? Well, check it out...

Not bad for free. Just remember to follow Andrea's excellent advice on Mail In Rebates here , and you'll have that $80 back in your pocket soon(ish), as long as you are a previous Norton customer. Now if I can find a MIR for the Office bundle, I'll be a happy man.
