Why are you still paying for Anti-Virus?

Anti-Virus software is like a bulletproof vest to a police officer.  You never go out in public without it.  With that said, everyone who surfs the world wide web should have it on at all times.  Viruses, trojans, and malware are a constant threat to the security and safety of your computer.  It is 2012 and if you are still paying for your anti-virus software, than you need to stop. 

If you do it right, you would not have to pay for anti-virus ever.  Mr. Ballin On a Budget is going to show you how.

There are always deals on the internet where you can get Anti-Virus for free after rebate.  For example, right now there is a deal for Kaspersky anti-virus.  Pay for it, get the 50 dollar rebate and you free 1 year anti-virus for 3 PC.  Not a bad score I say.

While that is going on, you should be on the look out for the next year antivirus that will also have rebates.  Thus, you can continue this endless cycle of free antivirus.  Mr.  Ballin On a Budget here has been going on 5 years without having to pay for anti-virus.  Another pointer is that you don't have to buy the latest and greatest anti-virus.  For example, if you buy a 2010 anti-virus, you will still get the same security and database updates provided by the company.  The only difference between the 2012 and the 2010 is fairly minimal aesthetics which you could probably do without.  You will still get the same protection from the latest threat.

The key here is to buy the anti-virus for the activation code.  Once you have that activation code, you have the same access to latest anti-virus update as a person who would buy anti-virus for full price.   If you don't want to do all that rebate and stuff, there's always AVG anti-virus.  It's free and you can download it right away.

Bottom line is that Mister Budget Ballin On a Budget is looking out for your wallet and budget.  Hopefully this will free up some spending cash for something essential such as that Forever Lazy that you've got your eye on.

So here are my budget tips:

* You can score awesome rebates on antivirus that comes out to free.  Just be diligent in looking out for the next free rebate on the upcoming anti-virus.

* You're buying for the activation code.  Any prior year's anti-virus should work just as well as the latest anti-virus.

* Free anti-virus such as AVG is just a click away.  Just download from reliable source.
