Magazine CD covers are really great because it usually has a lot of freebies! However these promotions are not meant for everyone and is only for people who has purchased the magazine. So if you use them without buying the magazine, you’re actually CHEATING these giant companies but I don’t think they even give a hoot about since they still makes a lot of money. The reason for these free offers are obviously for PROMOTIONS. Think about this, when these companies give out 6 months license and when the licensed period is up, the user will either end up spending their money in extending the license or uninstall it and use AVG. However, when the user felt that their computer slows down a lot and got infected by a few undetected trojans after installing AVG, what would they do? Yes ladies and gentleman, they ditch AVG, reinstall Kaspersky and ended up giving money to Kaspersky.
If you’ve studied marketing, I am sure you know it’s a win-win situation and only the small timers would think that it’s cheating. I’ve personally given out a lot of free licenses worth thousands of dollars. I could sell them in eBay, but why didn’t I do that? Well enough for the rant. Today we shall take a look at the free 6 months license offer given by Kaspersky Poland to CHIP readers.
It seems that Kaspersky Poland is making a very big promotion by offering 6 months licenses to PC World and CHIP readers. The promotion page are VERY similar and you could use the same method which I posted yesterday to get the license but we’ll try something different today since there are people who doesn’t know about using proxies. I am not sure what range of IP address is being blocked by Kaspersky Poland because so far I found out that IPs Poland, US, Germany and Ukraine works.
We’ll need Firefox, GreaseMonkey add-on, a modified GreaseMonkey script and UltraSurf. Please be informed that a few antivirus detects UltraSurf as a suspicious file. This is a false detection.
1. Open Firefox and install GreaseMonkey add-on.
2. Install a modified version of Kaspersky.pl Captcha Killer for GreaseMonkey.
3. Download UltraSurf, extract and run u94.exe. You will notice that your Internet Explorer automatically opens. You can close the Internet Explorer.
4. On your Firefox browser, go to Tools > Options > Advanced > Network tab and click the Settings button. Select “Manual proxy configuration” and enter the HTTP Proxy as 127.0.0.1 and Port 9666. Check “Use this proxy server for all protocols” and click OK.
5. Go to http://www.kaspersky.pl/mag/chip/kav2009.html
6. Enter your name, email-address and click Register button. You don’t need to change the code because it has been automatically inserted for you. If not, enter KAV2009-377333.
7. Check your email and you should get an email from Kaspersky Lab Polska (info@kaspersky.pl). The 20 digit number that is separated by 4 dashes is your 6 months license key!
Make sure you’ve installed the modified version of userscript because the one for PC World won’t work for Kaspersky Poland Chip promotion page. After you got your kaspersky key, make sure you configure Firefox settings to use “No proxy” or else next time you’ll have problems accessing to websites when UltraSurf is not running.
There is no point for you to abuse this by generating thousands of keys because all Kaspersky keys has shelf life and will automatically activates itself if you don’t use it within 1-3 months. So the most you can do is use one license until it expires, then only use the second key which should still have 1-2 months period remaining.
