Recommended Posts

i was about to download the free 90 day trial as i havent had a virus checker in ages etc etc but thought id have a quick read of the terms of use.

would you download it after reading this:

7.4 Trial Period Offers. You may have received a limited time of free service or some other trial period offer. Unless we notify you otherwise, if you are participating in any trial period offer, you must cancel the service by the end of the trial period to avoid incurring charges. If you do not cancel your service, and we have informed you that the service will automatically be converted into a paid subscription at the end of the trial period, then you authorize us to charge your payment method for the service.



does that mean that you definitely have to cancel the subscription after the free 90 days?

Doesn't mean that you have to cancel, just that you need to cancel if you don't want them to start billing you for a membership to the service.

I think it's rare to find an online promotion that isn't set up that way.

I wouldn't touch OneCare if you paid me.

As of the start of this month OneCare was missing 20% of known viruses and were 5-10 days out in terms of adding detection for new viruses. http://www.virusbtn.com/news/virus_news/2007/03_02a.xml
They royally screwed up peoples Outlookhttp://www.virusbtn.com/news/virus_news/2007/03_12.xml
OneCare even labeled Gmail a virus at one point. :S
