    I'd recommend spending a bit more for a 2GB flash drive. ;)

    I wouldn't even allow the Norton disc in my computer's disc drives. It's rumoured parts of Norton are installed via autoplay.

    No it's not, because it is $62.99 up front; there are $20 and $40 mail-in rebates which have a habit of never getting back to you if you even send them in at all.

    You're better off getting a good flash drive separately and actual antivirus software such as NOD32 or Kaspersky.

    I do want to thank the orignal poster for posting this deal though - it's still worth mentioning!
