5,000 members - free software licenses!

[Paul Wilders]

Dear registered members,

We are rapidly heading towards 5,000 registered members - this board is growing fast indeed!

5,000 registered members is kind of a milestone,and we want to celebrate this upcoming event.

Thus, we are giving away free licenses for top notch security software as soon as member number 5,001 has signed up. Those who sign up ultimately two days after we've welcomed member number 5,001 will participate in this randomly chosen "give away" as well.

Courtesy - and big thanks to software developpers providing us with this possibility, we will provide free software licenses (no doubles!):

courtesy to DCS (http://www.diamondcs.com.au):

2 licences for TDS3 (http://tds.diamondcs.com.au/) 3 licenses for Port Explorer (http://www.diamondcs.com.au/portexplorer/)

courtesy to Look'n'Stop (http://www.looknstop.com):

10 licenses for Look'n'Stop (http://www.looknstop.com/En/index2.htm)

courtesy to Eset (http://www.nod32.com):

50 single user licenses for
NOD32 v2 (http://www.nod32.com)

courtesy to our highly valued moderator Jack:

1 Msoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?sku=M17-1800)

The randomly chosen winners will be contacted by email, and they will have to provide a non web based email address. In case we do not receive an answer to our email within a week, or our email bounces, we will pick at random another winner instead. Please take notice it might take us approx. a week to verify facts.

For the record: we will verify one winner will win only one available license. Finally: our team members (moderators and administrators) are excluded from taking part.

Our decisions are final, and not open for discussion in any way.

Our goal has been and will be providing support and help the best we can. We do value our members, their input and helping one another out in a friendly atmosphere highly as well - this is our way of saying "thank you all, for participating on this board, helping out, posting news, providing useful info in a friendly way".

Feel free to spread the word!

On behalf of our team,

paul

By random, you mean that any of the 5,000+ members has a chance to win, right? ???

Does that mean we should change our email address for this Forum if we have always used Hotmail?

Thank you, Acadia.

Acadia,

{QUOTE-> Does that mean we should change our email address for this Forum if we have always used Hotmail? <-QUOTE}

Not at all - better leave it the way it is ;). Winners using a web based email address over here will be contacted using that email address.

[Jooske]

Now call your friends and families to join and have the celebrations begin soon! Looking forward to all those new happy faces we're going to support in actually using their new found security!

[Mr.Blaze]

;D lol so thats one big fish bowel with 5000 member names lol

[Tinribs]

Thats a very generous offer, kudos to the team and the software companies involved. :)

[Paul Wilders]

..one more item added to the list - courtesy to our highly valued moderator JacK! - a Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro. See the altered first post in this thread.

That's right manOFpeace. :)

[Mr.Blaze]

:D i wonder how there going to do it


i guess it be posiable to simply dowenload all the usser names in a small sorting utlity and let it pick randomely

that would be cool

but if not i feel sorry for the person that has to do the 5000 or so names by hand lol

[Dan Perez]

Blaze,

We had a secret "pre-vote" and decided you were JUST the person to write out the names of each of the 5000 members on itty-bitty ballots. Make sure they're itty-bitty or you will have to start ALL over again.

[Mr.Blaze]

:-X beep i am curently not home i have left the country pleas leave a message after the door shut and scampering off sound _-_---_--- ???

[Mr.Blazer]

I'm going to get a free superior security program - I've always been the lucky one 8)

Shame on you !!!

:D

[Mr.Blaze]

nope i have to handles on this bord and i have had them befor any of the wilder priazs lol but i dont qualify for it cause i have two names.


Thats ok there are more needy newbs then me i have dimond software and zap.

more people geting to know a varity of options.

im happy with my stuff.

plus i recomend the newbs check out the wilders free section lots of free goodys

[Dan Perez]

Oh, I thought that the spelling change could have been due to your recent ten forward lobotomy ;D

[Mr.Blaze]

;D i dont go to dsl forums lol if i did my head be that ewatter mellon

[J_at_A]

Hey Blazey, my dear buddy,

I'm a few days off home; sorry that I didn't tell you in private.
I'm (trying to) helping a friend getting off the hospital.

Hey, we all know who is the real Blaze ;)

Take care all of you my friends.
I'll see you all in a few days.

Cheers, Jan.

[Tuulilapsi]

Whoah, if Eset, DCS and LnS continue shelling out free licenses like this, I predict Wilders will soon have 10 000 members. ;D

[Jooske]

We might ask JavaCool to create some shareware for the occasion of donating it for free ;D

[Mr.Blaze]

;Dyeah his stuff is awsome i love his software

[hayc59]

Nice offer Paul way to go!!

[notageek]

I have a question. If a member makes more than one name and deletes it does he get put in the drawing?

[Mr.Blaze]

Cheers, Jan. uhhh haaaaa so thats what jan doing partying at a hospital

must be the nurses an added bonus lol

you mean if i delet my other name i can qualify lol hmmmm

nah i like my other name to.

hey wait what other name you got.

[notageek]

LOL I have only one name and that's the one my dear loe mommy gave me. ;)

No my wife ended up signing up here and she deleted her account not to long ago. Not sure the reason why she delete her account. I never ask her why when she does something I just let it go. But as for me Blaze this is my only name here at this board. :)

[Pieter_Arntz]

Hi notageek,

Since we can't IM cancelled accounts to provide us with a non-webmail-based addy, they are automatically out of the competition. ;)

[illukka]

hi
i was thinking that maybe member nr.5000 gets some specials...?

[Dan Perez]

Hi illuka,

That would be MUCH too easy as there is a running ticker of current number of users visible near the bottom of the main forum page ;)

[Jooske]

What would one user do with 65 licenses anyway?
No, this competition is for all except for the mods (we are some short in mods, but they wait with joining till this race for the 5000 members is won ;) ) and i guess people who already have all the goodies might volunteer to be out of the contest.
Expect it to be won second half of July or maybe sooner.

[Jooske]

Not any reason to hold back with joining! The 5000th member will NOT receive 65 licences but will open the key to start the fiesta for all members who were here longer anyway to take part in this grand contest!
I do hope for the 5000th (s)he will be one of the lucky winners, of course.

So don't hold back joining, 7 more to go right this moment, come in and start the party!

[notageek]

Good luck to all

[puff-m-d]

ALMOST THERE!!! 4997 AND COUNTING... ONLY 3 TO GO AND WE HAVE 5000!!!

[Pretender]

OH MANNNNNNNNN!!!! Just found out that there were 50 false adds to the member list :'( :'( :'(















Just Kidding :o :o :o

[notageek]

LOL I bet you had some saying no way OMG. lol

[Mr.Blaze]

your pulling my leg right were at 5000

[Jooske]

Think it would be nicer to use numbers and after getting them check if they are valid (no mod, no admin, no double name, no .. whatever) and them see which person belongs to it. But i'm sure the admins know their ways!
Expecting an announcement and 66 happy messages of winners!

[Detox]

wheeee better check my profile and be sure I check whichever email addy I used.. in fact I'll change it to my private addy cause it's hidden anyway and I'd trust Paul with.. with... well I'd trust him hehehe.

edit - hehe already used my private addy guess I trusted from the beginning :-)

I'm getting close to buying tds3 and nod32 anyway I think.. so wow if I won oneo f those I'd prolly barf on my keyboard from joy!

[notageek]

LOL I'm about to buy an AT but I think i'll hold off on it.

[LowWaterMark]

Of course, I'm not eligible for this contest, but even if the odds were 1 out of 2, I wouldn't win. ;)

Let's see there are 66 prizes and 5000 members. That's a 1 in 75 chance at winning something. Actually, it's better than that since there are team members who aren't eligible, duplicate accounts and also some dead or inactive accounts (email invalid and the person isn't active).

Detox - be careful with your keyboard. It'd be a pity to win a nice software package and then have to spend money buying a new keyboard. ;)

[notageek]

If you win do you have a pick out of the prizes?

[Detox]

sounds to me like they go through each prize and randomly select a user to win that prize one by one... that's my guess...

Anyway I'm barf-prone so my stuff is mostly barf-proof :-)

It's a slight chance of winning but it's a chance and it's 66 prizes that nobody HAD to give out, so I appreciate it all no matter what... and I never win stuff anyway lol...

In the meanwhile, winners have been chosen randomly, and have been emailed.

15 emails bounced - deleted or faked accounts. We are sorry - but these are out of competition as of now.

For those willing to stay into the race: better update your email account in your profile - make sure to enable to hide your addy from the public . 15 free licenses are available once more.

Randomly chosen 15 new contenders will be emailed within 12 hours ;)

Thank you, Paul, I think this is the first time I've ever won anything in my life. One question. In your email to me you said:

- reply to this email within 3 weeks from now, using a
non web based email account;

- in case you've registered using a web based email
account, refer to this email.

So that means I should NOT reply to you in my Hotmail account where the message was sent, correct? I should reply to you another way? Thanks again.

Beetlejuice - non-web based means basically a real email account... like no "hotmail" -that's web based - you check it from a website. Otherwise someone could register lots of different names with different hotmail (or some such) account etc...

I may have messed up already. I had my hotmail address and now I changed it to my aol address. does aol work for an email address?

Um, I‘d like to take a moment of your time and bring to your attention that someone must have overlooked sending me notification of my being chosen as a winner of one of these great prizes.

Hi Wilders team:

Just wanted to let you know, changed email address, after a long association with my ISP, we have come to a parting of the ways LOL.

I RESENT my "acceptance" reply to your email and have changed it in my profile, but just to make sure, posting here I have done so.

Cheers, TAS.

PS: My email is: ohgollygosh @ newaddy dot here ;D [j/k]

[beetlejuice]

Good question from Pretender. I'm also on AOL and don't trust Outlook for security reasons. For that reason I've never set up a seperate e-mail. Thought it would be safer going through Aol exclusively. I may be messing up but I'd like this to be my reply to the e-mail I received saying that I have been chosen as a winner. If this is OK-fine. If not, then that's fine too.
My e-mail is removed.
beetlejuice

- Removed email address to maintain privacy - LWM

[LowWaterMark]

An AOL address is a valid email address in terms of it being from an ISP and not a free Internet email source.

beetlejuice - your address is fine. Please send your reply from that address for the notice you received. (We also have your reply here, but, better to have your email on file, as well.)

[Gordon7000]

Many thanks to everyone concerned for making these software licenses available. It's all very much appreciated - especially by those of us who rarely or never win anything! ;D

[Jooske]

Congratulations all winners!
It's lovely to see it all happen from here! :)
And we're heading to the 10,000 so let's see when that will be and what the celebrations packet will be then?
So spread the word and head for another chance on whatever we don't know yet!
How about all people posting in vivid discussions?

Thank you so much and I look forward to finding out what it will be. :)

How many notifications have been sent out now? I've been a loser all my life so if all of the 60 notifications have been sent then it won't bother me.........YEAH RIGHT ;D

{QUOTE-> quoting: Pretender link=board=11;threadid=10348;start=105#msg76072 date=1059258097]How many notifications have been sent out now? <-QUOTE}

The total number have been sent out, (see Paul's post a page or two back), however, if some are not responded to, additional notifications will have to be sent out until all the prizes have found a home.

And just to remind everyone, as Paul noted above, he will be away for a while, so please be patient. Finalization of all prizes will occur once he has returned.

[Uguel707]

Loooooooooooool!

Great! I won a top notch security software!
And it's something that I really needed. 8)

Good luck to all!

Hi,

I have just downloaded my single user license from the antivirus NOD32 v2 ;D

NOD32 v.2!!
AWESOME!

How am I going to run PC-cillin, AVK, and NOD32 on the same box?? ;D

What a great "problem" to have!!

[yorkdale]

Thanks Wilders and soft4ever! A free license for Look N Stop Firewall! Is this better than ZA Pro? If so, now I can finally ditch ZA Pro which keeps "not responding" at the most unfortunate times! ;D

[Uguel707]

Hey!

I've got a free license for Look 'n' Stop too!
I have got just an old version of Zone Alarm.
Not bad, but not the "best" either!
So, I'm glad to get stg more reliable!

Hi beetlejuice,

Maybe it is a good idea to send Paul an IM.
He's the boss ;) ;)

Thanks a lot to Eset and Wilders for my brand new
Nod license.
I am using presently the trial version.May I simply put my
user name and password in it or do I have to download again a registred version of NOD?
Many thanks again for this generous gift.

[Gordon7000]

I've just received my free licence for NOD32 v2 and I much appreciate this. Many thanks to Paul and to Eset for making this possible. The licence for my original Norton AV was about to expire, so the superior NOD32 product and licence is very welcome at this time.

Thanks again to all concerned.

<-QUOTE}

The PE license as provided by DCS is a personal one. Therefore, the question in regard to trading licenses is obsolete. On the other hand you could ask DCS to provide a license for a different person as a gift for example. This is something between you and the software developper.

For the record: licenses won are strictly personal; no disclosure or trading allowed, other than with consent from the software developper in question.

It's recommended to uninstall the trial version, reboot, download the registered version from the appropriate download link overon www.nod32.com , using the provided user name and password. Update after doing so.

28 registered members who received an email informing them they had won a free license, failed to react within the scheduled time scheme as was needed.

Therefore, we will pick at random 28 other winners, who will be receiving an email soon.

It beats me as of why anyone would neglect to cash in a free license for superb security software...

Thanks from me as well, I didn't have a licence for Look 'N' Stop yet. A friend of mine was a bit disappointed though, because I had promised to make a gift of Nod32 to him, should I win the licence ;D (I'm a registered user myself since June).

[Weber]

Woohoo, so i still have chances... ;D ::)

I only visit this forum for lurking information and now I have a NOD32 license ;D okay I already have a license but I will contact the nod team, maybe I can give it to someone else. Thanks wilders team!!!

:D Hello I got a Congratulations email.Looks like I'm a winner. Could someone give me the correct defination of a Non Web Based Email Account please. Sorry about the question, but it is a term I never really got to grips with. Thanks again. ;D 8)

[notageek]

If I'm not mistaken I think they mean like an aol email addy or something like that. they don't want Hotmail, yahoo or any emails you have to go to web pages to sign up for. You ISP Addy is a non web based email addy.

[manOFpeace]

;D I want to get this right.
So 88888@virgin.net opening in MS Outlook is OK. ;)

[notageek]

I got the congrats email from wilder support them morning also and I just used my email addy that I got when I signed up with my ISP.

[Tuulilapsi]

Well, well. Looks like I just received a nice surprise email. :o I never win anything, so I find it a bit hard to believe.

But alas, I no longer have an ISP-provided mail account to my name, though I guess I could (once again) borrow a relative's address. I registered with my myrealbox account. What say the Wilders guys; what should Tuulilapsi do? ;D

[gunnarj]

Thanks to Wilders for the free license for NOD32.
I really appreciate it.

I have two questions.

1.) Is it possible to keep the antivirus that I now use, which is the free version of AVG, installed on my PC alongside the Nod app? Or is it not necessary or not wise?

2.) I purchased a license for Outlook firewall version 2. As of yet it is incompatible with WindowsME. I have been thinking of switching to Look 'n Stop. Is this a good choice?

Thanks for any responses and thanks again very much for the prize.

:DThanks to Paul and Esat for the wonderfull prize Nod32 AV. I will save it untill to-morrow to d/load and install. It will take a while to get all Norton stuff removed. Thanks Paul. ;) 8)

[yorkdale]

A non-web mail based address means ones like Yahoo and Hotmail aren't allowed. If you use AOL for your internet service that is allowed. So basically it means you need a 'real' mail address which is either your own domain (like mine), or your ISP.

<-QUOTE}

Well done! :)

I have three antivirus installed, and no complications. The trick is only one should be set as your active program, I suggest NOD32 for that, and stop AVG from running so it is only "on demand" as a second opinion.

Since it is AVG I don't see why there should be a problem, it's pretty friendly with others. Just two points to remember: 1. AVG placed a boot sector scan line into your autoexec file (or your equivalent) so that needs commenting out, and 2. do remember to deactivate it as your email scanner.

The other I'm leaving as I only just got a free license for LnS so am starting to learn it now, but I'm hoping it can replace ZA Pro which is pretty heavy on this old system. :)

[RJ100]

Wow, I'm pretty excited now!! :) 8) :).
"MUST CALM DOWN" Ok, Can this actually be the real e-mail from Wilders Security? I'm always suspicious. Havn't opened yet. I guess I'm just leery because I never win anything. Will stand by anxiously for a reply. Can't wait to much longer the excitement is building.

Thanks for lookin at this.

OK, Reporting in luckey winner ??/66........ I can't believe it.
Free licence to Nod32 v2 Award Winning AV Protection.

When I first noticed the contest it was like 66 in 5000. Hmmm, well I
have .0132 of a chance like everyone else.

I've lurked this forum for quite a spell and gathered so much information
about, you guessed it "security". I've gone from a 2 awareness to about
a 6+ now. Still lots to learn.

I'll be sure to put Nod32 v2 to good use as ironically my current AV is
set to expire in about three weeks. Timing couldn't have been better.

A BIG THANKS to Paul Wilders, Eset, And the Wilders Team who go above
and beyond to reach and assist average users like myself to make the net
a safer enviroment to be in.

Take care, Ray

[zarzenz]

Many thanks for the NOD32 free licence.

I'm starting to get used to it and trying to find out the best way to use the AMON as it seems to make my mouse stop working when starting some programs... JV16 seems the worst... so just getting the hang of the exclusion setup.

I am very pleased with the ease of the interface and the auto updates are excellent. 8)

[zak_dashiell]

i also received a "congratulations" in my web-based email account. i am always wary about "you won" messages in my web-based account (there are a lot of them) but since it said "support wilders.org" as the sender, i crossed my fingers and replied to the message in my pop3 account. i hope my instincts are right.

if the message is authentic, THANK YOU very much Wilders. But i am already a licensed TDS3 operator and just renewed my NOD32 license. I wish i would win some other software.

One question, though, is there a way of verifying if the congratulation e-mail (web-based) is authentic or not? Replying to it may defeat the purpose of being wary if the sender was spoofed.

More power to Wilders!

[yorkdale]

LOL Zak!:)

I know that feeling, I got a virus alert from Digitaltune recently and seeing my prefs are for NO email contact at all, I FWD the email to them and reported they were being spoofed! :o

[minacross]

I got this e-mail on Aug 12:



Hello minacross,

As announced in our mailing from June 16th 2003, we are
giving away free licenses for top notch security software
as soon as our Security Support Board has welcomed the
5,000 registered member:

http://www.wilderssecurity.com/index.php?board=11, see
the "5000 members -free software licenses!" thread.

We have passed that milestone in the meanwhile - and
you are one of the randomly chosen lucky winners!

In order to make sure you'll receive a free license from
a randomly chosen software, these are the conditions:

- reply to this email within 1 week from now, using a
non web based email account;

- Mention your registered user name as well as your
real name;

- in case you've registered using a web based email
account, refer to this email.

In case you fail one or more of the conditions mentioned
above, we have no choice other then removing you from the
list of winners.

Our goal is - after examination - to inform you about the
software license you've won within 2 weeks from now.

In case this email bounces, does not arrive in time, we
don't take any responsibility. Furthermore, our decisions
are final, and not open for discussion in any way.

In the meantime new software is created, so who knows what you might be running for?
All to keep your system secured and a joy using it!

Dear members,

All free licenses have been distributed in the meanwhile.

For some akward and unknown reason, many members have been rejected the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=10348;start=0), generously provided by our valued moderator JacK.

It seems a pitty not to make someone happy with this very nice item.

Therefore, we change the rules a bit in this specific case:

Every registered member (except those who did already win a license) is invited to drop me an email: webmaster@wilders.org in case s/he is interested in getting this item for free. Subject line: Desktop Pro. Contents: "I'm interested!"

The winner will be chosen at random from the first 100 registered members who dropped me an email.

Imagine what could happen with the 25000 members -- maybe Bill Gates could come over to win a free copy of his Longhorn if he would put some licenses in the contest?
Just joking, but we could with this top notch multi-lingual supported security forum at least have grabbed his attention while helping so many people with their systems!

I'll drop A Microsoft staff member an email as soon as we come close to 25,000 registered members.

Let's calculate, with the current new members/day rate we'll be on 10000 around half march 2004, so that could be in 3 years on 25000 hmm think people would rather like the next generation after Longhorn by then :)
But help us reminding you to send that email, if BG would be in the contest and it would be announced we could be on 25000 before next christmas this year.

[Detox]

Ok Detox. Uhhumm---

I'm sorry, so sorry,
That you can't win anything now.
Bet it makes you feel,
Like you're having a cow.
Oh, Oh. Oh. Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh yeah.

You just now realized,
That you can never win a prize.
So you'll have to dream,
Just sit back and close your eyes.

Since I'm a Moderator,
I can't get no sleep.
I go to bed even later,
And I hate counting sheep.
Sheep being chased by wolves,
That really scares me.
I feel their running hoofs,
As they trample on me.

I'm sorry, So sorry,
There is no need to cry.
For in your dreams you'll see,
Cookies in your eyes.
Oh. Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, yeah.

Wolves like cookies, sheep do to,
Feed them and maybe they, won't trample on you.
Now it's time for bed,
Seeing that it's almost 2.

Since I'm a Moderator,
I can't get no sleep.
The wolves are now chasing me,
Instead of the sheep.
I fed them my cookies,
Used up my supply.
Now the wolves look at me,
Like I'm a french fry.

I'm sorry, so sorry,
But I must leave now really fast.
The wolves want a meal and,
I don't want to be their last.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, No!

I fed them the cookies, the wolves and the sheep,
I thought then I might, catch some more sleep.
The wolves eyes are red,
And I've got cookies in my bed.

Since I'm a Moderator,
I can't get no sleep.
I'm tired of feeding,
The wolves and the sheep.
I gave them my cookies,
For something to eat.
Now the wolves look at me,
Like I'm their next meat.

I'm sorry, so sorry,
Please help me to get some sleep.
For just a few cookies,
I'll give you my wolves and sheep.

Just remember to feed them!!! ;D ;) Oh, and don't forget to feed Detox to!! ;D ;D

[subratam]

oh
beetle oh man beetle
dont make the mod so sad
i just ran my anti-cookie
the situation is not so bad...
the situation for mod
is like the virus not caught ;)
only how to hack all prize
is in his deep thought
but sorry again for mod
the cookie in his eyes
as beetle pointed out...
the weakness there lies
so mr mod from now on
come on be more trojanic
and it will be hard for others
to throw you from peak ;D
ooh oops ooh no..
i am telling you mr beetle juice
to be or not to be a MOD
its really hard to choose
no... i am busy with my anti-cookies
so you all think about the choice
once done and finalised
i will be here to rejoice ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

wohooo

Oh man, you misunderstand,
I was trying to make him feel better.
I gave him a cookie at the end,
To dunk in his milk and make wetter.

Please don't take his cookies away,
with your anti-cookie machine.
Cause then he'll have nothing to feed the wolves,
And we'll have a mess to clean. :'(

He probably wouldn't mind if you got the cookies out of his bed though. ;D ;D ;D

[Detox]

lol thanks beetle I feel a little better ;)

[snowbound]

Cheer up detox ;D
No need to feel this way,
We will get u something nice,
For mods, they save the day! 8)
