Microsoft Live OneCare Free After Rebate (or Maybe Even Better Than Free)

If you use Windows and particularly Vista, and you'd like to add Microsoft Live OneCare to your system utilities, you can get it right now for free after rebate through Staples. It's possible that you can even get back more than you spent, depending on how Staples issues the rebate.

It's designed as an all-around PC protection tool, keeping your PC's internal workings in order while helping protect it from security threats from the outside.

This utility software:
- blocks and removes viruses, spyware, and blocks hackers
- runs automatic tune-ups keep your PC running efficiently
- protects up to 3 PC's
- does real-time virus and spyware protection
- performs routine maintenance, such as hard disk defragging

The software normally sells for $39.99, but until November 22nd Staples takes off $25.00 from the purchase price, making it just $14.99. And there's a $20.00 rebate for purchases made by April 18, 2009. It's unclear if Staples limits the rebate to the price you paid ($14.99) which would make the item free after rebate, or whether they are issuing checks for the full $20.00 regardless of the receipt amount -- in that case, you'd get back $5.01 more than you spent.
