McAfee class action settlement

[Bullhead]

I caught news of this from [H]ardOCP, who had a link to the story here: http://www.securitynewsportal.com/index.shtml

This is the info:

A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit over McAfee VirusScan versions 3 and 4. If you are a U.S. resident and you bought a retail version of McAfee VirusScan version 3 or version 4, then you are a member of the class.

As a member of the class, you may receive a free download version of your choice of one of the three McAfee perpetual products: (1) VirusScan version 8, (2) AntiSpyware version 1.0, or (3) QuickClean version 4.01 (collectively "Software").

In order to receive your free Software download, you must do the following:

Complete the certification form at http://software.mcafee.com/lcas/ Then select Submit.
Once you have agreed to the class certification requirements, McAfee will send you an email with a link to download your free software.
NOTE: ALL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE ON JULY 16, 2004. YOU MUST COMPLETE THE CLASS CERTIFICATION FORM AND DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE ON OR BEFORE JULY 16, 2004, OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR RIGHT TO RECEIVE THE SOFTWARE.

For further information about the class action settlement please see the following items:

It is surprising that this 'free offer' -:cough:- errmmm lawsuit settlement' -:cough:- has not received more 'free' publicity... but then again I guess you don't want the world to know you are having to give your product away for free... so sshhhhhhhhhh..... don't tell anyone about this... it's a secret... hehehehe... Don't forget that you are limited to just 1 free software download per household and Network Associates offer is limited to residents of the United States only (-:cough:- or at least people claiming to be from the United States -:cough:- ).
