F-Secure’s F1 giveaway through Optus Broadband

IT Industry - Market

The suite was made available for free download from December 15 last year, but today’s press release is the first we’re hearing about it.

The pressure is on to download now, because the winner of the free F1 trip will be drawn on March the 1st 2009, the winner announced on March 4, and the Malaysian Grand Prix is being held from April 3 to April 5.

Only Optus “consumer residential Broadband” and “wireless Broadband customers” are eligible to enter the competition.

They must be aged 18 years or older and available to travel between the 3rd and 5th of April 2009.

This means Optus business and enterprise customers are excluded from this deal, but given that the F-Secure’s Internet Security suite on offer is primarily designed for consumers and small business desktops only, this is no surprise.

No doubt F-Secure has specific business and enterprise versions of its security software available to any company looking for an alternative to whatever it is already using.

Eligible Optus broadband customers can download the software here.

How successful the F-Secure and Optus online download deal will be against the in-store retail Internet security suites is yet to be seen, while the competition in some way mirrors Symantec’s ongoing competition to send one of its customers into “space” with Virgin Galactic.
