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 The link from the MFC web page is obsolete and hadn't been updated "in a long time" - according to the friendly and knowledgeable customer support guy.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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
