The home edition of AVAST software is always free. You just need to register once a year after your initial 30 day trial. Only buisnesses need to buy it.

That is true, but about 6 months ago the free edition stopped scanning for script viruses, which are the most common types of viruses. I used to give all my customers free copies of Avast! but since the change I have been trying to get them to buy the pro product because it does protect much better.

The Free version is still good, in fact it still wins awards, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Don't be stupid. There is NO reason to pay for personal antivirus. Try Microsoft Security Essentials. It's free as long as you have a valid copy of Windows, updates automatically, and is the best user-friendly antivirus out there. It's known to be great at detecting rootkits too, which is rare.

@texanfromin: So I should trust an antivirus product from the company that leaves the holes for viruses to get in through? You do realize that M$ is the company that brought you Internet Explorer right?

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
