Default How to purchase AntiVir PersonalEdition Premium in USA?

Hello all,

I'm hoping someone can tell me how to purcase AntiVir PersonalEdition Premium in the U.S. Using the "AntiVir Online Shop", the good-old "US of A" does not show up as a valid country to order from.

I appologize if this thread is posted in the wrong forum...

Well according to their forum you are supposed to enter in Germany as the place of your residence. This is totally unacceptable to me. So I emailed them about 3 weeks ago. Still waiting, I guess that they have so much money they do not need sales.

I am sure that they would sell more copies of the Premium Edition if they had a trial version for download!

One reason for this is the supposedly better response of the Premium Servers compared to the Classic ones, which is particularly important for those of us restricted to dial-up.

From what I can see it is their only product which is not available for trial before buying.

You are correct, I just browsed the forum and a poster purchased premium edition on March 30, still had not received liscense and was told that it may take two weeks. Pathetic!

I am in the U.S. and purchased the Premium version about 5 weeks ago using the instructions in the following link:

Received my license key within seconds. Just want everyone to know that not everyone is having problems.

Hi Honyak...

Two weeks for a license??!! Wowsers! I would hope that it was just an error or misunderstating in the transaction. If not, I would definately say go elsewhere!

Best Regards...

Hi Honyak...

You're right

There is no justification for two weeks, I'd be getting my money back!
