It looks like our favorite free anti-virus software will no longer be available to new users. The following is an excerpt from an email I just received:



<< We would like to thank you for your participation in the InoculateIT Personal Edition promotional program, which was well received by millions of clients.

On Thursday June 7, 2001, this promotional program will be replaced by my-eTrust.com, our new web-born store front, designed specifically to make it easy for you to get the software and support you need to protect your small business and home-based personal computers.

The first solution set offered through my-eTrust.com is eTrust EZ Armor, an extremely effective, easy-to-use personal security solution suite that includes:

eTrust EZ Firewall - A personal firewall solution to protect against unauthorized attempts from outsiders to access your PC and data files.
eTrust EZ Antivirus - A new and enhanced antivirus solution that includes all the features and benefits of InoculateIT Personal Edition and more.
eTrust EZ Deskshield - A revolutionary new solution that protects against malicious email

Although the InoculateIT Personal Edition program will end on June 7, 2001, we will continue to make antivirus signature updates available to you for as long as you have InoculateIT Personal Edition installed on your computer.
>>



The bottom line is the new antivirus will be sold on a year by year lease starting at $5.95 the first year.

Interesting...

I wonder if we keep and archive of the latest &quot;Inoculate IT&quot; application on a CDR, if we will be able to install it and get it working on a new system. Since the registraton is part of the install, I wonder... (I would think so)

Is it just coincidence that yesterday I got a message saying my beta version of the program had expired?
