Starting Friday, v3.co.uk is going to run a promotion allowing users to get BitDefender AntiVirus 2010 (1 year license) free. Here is the official word from them:

We’ve given you some of the very best full applications in the past and we’re back again with four full exclusive promos through August. The first is our exclusive BitDefender Antivirus 2010 [1-PC, 1-Year], worth $24.95/£16.99, available free of charge for everyone, for 24 hours, between miday CEST Friday 13 August to midday CEST Saturday 14 of August.

Where can you download your exclusively free BitDefender Antivirus 2010? From the V3.co.uk Software Store: http://store.v3.co.uk

Promotional information will be available on Friday, so keep checking the store. With this promo, you can download your software build on Friday, grab your serial code, then install or use at any time. Strictly one serial code per user, however.

Better still, with BitDefender 2011 due soon, you’ll be able to upgrade from the free 2010 to 2011! BitDefender are also offering you an exclusive upgrade promo to the full security suite, BitDefender Internet Security. More information on Friday.

The giveaway has not started yet – it will start 3 AM PST Friday August 13, 2010 and end 3 AM PST Saturday August 14, 2010 – so I don’t have much details on it right now. However, I thought I should give everyone the heads up in advance. Be sure to visit store.v3.co.uk on Friday!

Thanks Kate!
