GFI Christmas Competition Winner

Jan19
2011 Written by Mauldor

Back in December 2010 GFI ran a competition for 10 people to win a 10 user licence of selected GFI software and they said one of these people would be selected to win an iPad. I entered which was simple enough and to be honest did not expect to win. The email came though and to be honest I almost deleted it thinking it was spam – I must get loads of emails every day telling me I have won this or that.

I was informed anyhow that I had win the 10 user of Vipre Anti Virus but I had been selected out of the ten as the iPad Winner. It took some time for the iPad to arrive as it came from Malta (GFI’s HQ) and it had a UK plug.

Thanks to GFI for a great competition and the rather sexy iPad

Just a heads up really, Firefox finally gets updated to version 3.6, adds Personas (Themes) and many speed improvements. Another one updated of late is is Avast - this is now at version 5, includes new voices and such. Seems the Auto Update fails to grab this new version so you are going to need to download and upgrade.

Recently while on FrugalBruce Ustream channel, he was doing a giveaway of Sunbelt AntiVirus Software, not a company or a product I had heard of and by sheer luck, I managed to Win the 10 User licence version. The original competition was for the server version but as I am a home user with no Server, I was sent the 10 user version of the desktop product instead. Bruce does many software giveaways and is on hand for decent business advice – so feel free to check him out live if you get the chance, he does a show Monday to Friday 1pm-3pm EST (USA).
