[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 974633, member: 53544"] So, for a while, antivirus market has been adapting to local economies, in order to keep selling. For example, they've realised they can't charge the same amount of money in USA than in Venezuela, even if it's the same product. Interestingly enough, most of these products don't even require you to have an IP address from the country you wanna buy from, meaning you can save a great portion of your budget. [U]Example:[/U] Yesterday I bought Norton Antivirus Plus from Norton's official site. [B]First, I visited the US site (home site), and found the product for[COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)] USD 19.99.[/COLOR][/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://us.norton.com/products/norton-360-antivirus-plus?inid=nortoncom_nav_norton-360-antivirus-plus_homepage:homepage[/URL] [B]Then, knowing the current situtation of Argentina, I visited the argentinian Norton official site, that replaces us for ar.[/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://ar.norton.com/products/norton-360-antivirus-plus?inid=nortoncom_nav_norton-360-antivirus-plus_homepage:home[/URL] [B]I found in Argentina the price is ARS 599, which leads to a price of[COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)] USD 2,8[/COLOR]. [/B](after all the taxes my argentinian credit card has, final price was of USD 4,2). Given the fact this is a legit license from the antivirus website, I still get all the support they offer. --------------------------------- My question now is: can you use Norton as an example and see how much USD would they charge you in your country? Grab this site: [URL='https://us.norton.com']us.norton.com[/URL] and replace "us" with your country (e.g. fr for france, uk for United Kingdom, etc). Navigate your self to Norton Antivirus Plus, and share with us the amount (first convert it to USD). [/QUOTE]
