in 2 seconds, right? /sarcasm
AND, wait for 8 weeks get your $65 back, if you buying FAR.

Only it's not $65, you paid your tax on $65 ($4.55 for me), you spent a minimum of 30 minutes, clipping, scanning, printing, stuffing the envelop.
Then you spent another 30 minutes in the line in your post office - god forbid your rebate letter weigh more than a regular stamp allows - or maybe buying delivery confirmation - just in case?

So you do spend an hour of your time ( $7.25/hr minimum wage [google.com] ) - I think you make more + tax
7.25+ 4.55 tax = $11.80 to get your FAR KIS,
vs. $12 + 0.84 tax = $12.84

A question: Is $1.04 worth for you waiting for 9 - 8 weeks?

Also, from a completely different perspective - some people have more that 3 computers at home, and you can only apply for one rebate in rebate period - several months usually.

Why do people buy antivirus? What's wrong with Microsoft Security Essentials and minimizing exposure to shady sites?

I prefer AV, M$ is slow with updates, every Tue at best, and AVs have their updates at least once a day.
Besides, no one guaranteed from clicking an email link they should not have. Not everyone is paranoid enough to check the actual links all the time.

Ah OK, I figured software preference was a big reason. Luckily I like MSE and am too lazy to change.

sorry it's pretty close with a SER, got mine from the last deal.
personally dealing with a rebate beats shelling out $12 for something that is pretty much a sure thing.

Second!

MSE is terrible. See results at AV Test or AV Comparatives. And legitimate sites are increasingly being compromised.

Is it really necessary to update the def once a day?
Are you giving too much power/trust to K?
M$ in this case happens to be M(free)...
