Price gouge by Trend Micro Pc-cillin for Dell customers
My new Dell computer came with Trend Micro PC-cilin Internet Security trial ware. As far as I can tell it is the standard version. Today a pop up reminded me that my version will expire soon and I must buy the standard version. When I click on buy now, I get a window that says the cost for the standard version is $69.00 and requires that I pay an additional $7.99 for extended download.
This is a gouge of Dell customers.
Anyone can go the to Trend site and pay $49 for same suite.
I contacted customer service at Trend and was told "The price was a decision of the Marketing department"
This is apparently a special gouge price for Dell Customers. Agent suggested I buy from regular online site. Will probably buy a different program because of gouge of Dell customers.
