I have just attempted to purchase the antivirus package from our Sponsor - Kasperzky. I followed the banner add on the club web page which takes to a page that no longer exists. A call to the Kaspersky help-desk provides a new web address to make the discount purchase. If anyone is interested, the new page is at : https://www.kasperskyanz.com.au/demons

However, the new page is asking for a "personal voucher code" . I assumed this was the MFC membership card number but it isn't !!

It is making the whole process of supporting our sponsor quite difficult -- not to mention frustrating.

Has anyone gone through the process recently .. since they changed to the new registration page???

    I think the page has changed as that page is for the free six month trials that were handed out recently. I'm guessing you are after the 20% member discount, if so that's a different page but I'm not sure how to get to that.

    I ended up calling Kaspersky again and this time I spoke to someone who knew what was happening with the MFC discount deal. The link from the MFC web page is obsolete and hadn't been updated "in a long time" - according to the friendly and knowledgeable customer support guy.

    Ended up paying over the phone and getting an activation code immediately.

    Every post with those words is a step closer to the funniest moment ever when somebody finds a way to wreck Macs en masse.

    1) Windows still has a huge market share.

    2) Security is already becoming a more pressing concern for Mac users (refer the latest Macworld mag cover story).

    Windows software is almost obsolete if an article i read last week is correct. The Japanese have rolled it.

    Gates is very concerned.

    I will chase up that mac world issue, thanks.

    I notice that Kaspersky have internet protection for Mac's now. I'm not sure if it is needed but it is something that I will look into.

    Thanks CB i would appreciate that.

    ...what? :wacko:

    How can "Windows software" be obsolete? Are you talking about the Windows operating system, or the (very very large) suite of software developed on the Windows platform?

    Windows and Microsoft are a long, long way from disappearing. Gates may be concerned, but his concerns won't be borne out for decades yet. Home users are presented with a much better choice than yesteryear, but many businesses that have invested heavily in custom built software are utterly (and happily) bound to Microsoft and can't, and probably don't want to change that. The organisation I work for (as a custom software developer) is one of millions of examples of this.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
