I just received my order of Norton SystemWorks Professional 2003 for $10.90 shipped (free ground shipping) that I ordered from these guys. I wanted to make sure I received it before I posted it as a hot deal, since I had never ordered from these guys
I also wanted to confirm it had the 1 year antivirus, since there have been rumors in the past about a 90 day oem av version. I ordered 3 copies for various computers around the house, and I also ordered a copy of PowerDVD 4 for under $5. The Professional version includes Norton Ghost which is pretty handy. I've already used it a couple times both to backup, and to transfer files on the hard drive to one of those 120 gig WD SE ones that I picked up for $80 out the door at best buy
I also like the fairly recent Windows Ghost Explorer so you can explore and extract some files from within the ghost image without having to reboot in dos.
Note that these are CD only, no retail box (i.e. OEM). However this copy of Norton installs with ONE YEAR (bolded for those who missed this part and posted about it
) antivirus just like the retail version and doesn't ask for a serial number, so there's really no differance between that and the retail (the manuals are all on the CD anyway). If you really wanted to get more time out of it than that, you could always reformat and reinstall windows after a year. Alternatively I think Norton charges $10 for a year extension, although by this time next year you can probably get the 2004 edition for $15

BTW, I didn't find these guys from a spam email like some of the other posts about some of these software deals. I REFUSE to deal with any company that spams, I found these guys on Pricewatch. They use USPS with delivery confirmation for shipping, so it took a week or two for me to receive it after I ordered (ordered May 22, received June 2).
