    Buy.com is a major retailer, so yes it's legit. It's up there with amazon and newegg.

    I've heard of buy.com, I just haven't used their services.

    Anyway, I really do not think McAfee is even worth $5 so I'll pass :p

    buy.com is amazing. I choose the free 7-9 day shipping all the time, and i get the item next day!

    but, McAfee...you couldn't pay me to run that!
