When you purchase a Lenovo laptop in Philippines, you’re entitled for a free McAfee Internet Security 2009 3 computer license valid for 6 months. I have a friend there and he wasn’t able to successfully get his McAfee IS 2009 license. So I used TeamViewer to remotely help him out and managed to get his license. Anyway, the steps to get the free McAfee Internet Security 2009 license is really long and confusing. I’ve taken the liberty of writing the whole steps down so that the next Lenovo user will be able to obtain his free McAfee Internet Security 2009 without problems.
1. Go to this page: http://www.lenovopromos.com/LREG/PH
2. Enter POL in the media code box and click the Verify button.
3. Click Agree and Proceed button.
4. Fill up the form. Make sure you enter a real working Email address. The rest of the information can be bogus except Serial Number. You can find the 8 digit serial number at front right panel or on the back of the Lenovo system. (Googling the phrase lenovo serial number K100 reveals a lot of working 8 digit serial numbers ;) Changing the numbers at the end of a legitimate serial numbers also works). Click Submit when done.
5. Check your email address that you entered in the form at step 4. You should get an email from Lenovo (lenovo@blugrapes.com) with the title Confirmation of Lenovo Purchase. There is a link that you must click to activate the download.
6. Click the Download Now button where it says Free 6 Months Trial
7. Now you’ll have to create a McAfee account by filling up the form. Click Read Privacy Policy button when finished filling up the form.
8. Scroll right to the bottom of the McAfee Privacy Policy page and click I Agree.
9. Scroll right to the bottom of the End User License Agreement page and click I Agree.
10. You should see a print receipt page now. Click Go to My Account. Leave the web browser with the current page open.
11. Now check your email that you’ve used to create McAfee account. You should receive an email from subscriptions@mcafee.com with the subject Your McAfee Account. You’ll have to click the link in the email to complete the activation process.
12. Go back to the web browser where you left it open in step 10. Click Download button.
13. Click I Agree button.
14. Click the small download button to download DMSetup-Serial.exe
15. Run DMSetup-Serial.exe when finished downloading. You should be able to to select Typical or Custom installation but if you don’t see that and asked to login, just enter your McAfee login details that you’ve created in step 7.
16. The setup will automatically download and install McAfee Internet Security 2009 on your computer.
After helping my Philippine friend to install the McAfee Internet Security 2009, I noticed that the graphical user interface (GUI) is exactly the same as version 2008. Every software that goes through a major update surely has some noticeable changes in the interface. I checked the official McAfee datasheet and saw that the screenshot is the same. I believe that the McAfee 2009 products only improved the core of the program but not interface.
Note: This offer is meant for people who bought Lenovo laptop in Philippines, not everyone. As you can see, the Lenovo user would have to go through a very long process to get the free 6 months McAfee Internet Security 2009 license and I believe not every basic computers is able to achieve that. The complete step-by-step provided is meant to help the Lenovo customers, and not to promote piracy.

Will try to keep this brief. There is a simple solution. Facts first.
1) The McAFee problem could happen to any anti-virus
provider IF THEY do not test all configurations.
2) All operating systems are vulnerable,
3) For those of you who do not use any security it can
still happen to you. Examples: I clicked once on
a modestly popular website (that I use frequently)
and was instantly given malware (and not my layers
of protection did not help). I have also been
given in a very popular 3rd party applications a
virus as part of a normal update.
3. Yes, Firewalls, malware detectors and anti-virus
applications do take a lot of resource and it is
noticeable if you have an older machine.
4. You can surf the Internet 100% safe by using a
Sandbox (Sandboxie is the name of one and it’s
free).
5. But that does not protect you when you open an
email or download a file.
6. Avoiding the DarkSide totally will limit your
exposure. Use WOT (web of trust) if you run
Firefox.
7. Internet Explorer is and will continue to be the
must vulnerable browser. Don’t use it. The others
are better….as in faster and safer (Chrome and
Firebox).
8. A full back up will save you dollars. Invest in an
external drive.
9. Do not believe Microsoft is concerned about you.
They have never developed a registry cleaner and
provided only a marginal disk cleaner (and
for those of you who bought new machines because
yours became slow you can thank them). They have
only recently offered a free anti-virus package (in
self defense and because they are losing market
share). Their defragmentor was (is) slow and does
not do a “Smart Defrag”. The lack of all these
things caused millions of people to invest
(needlessly) in new machines (with, of course,
Microsoft’s latest operating system. Windows, by
design, will never be finished. Windows 7, right
out of the box, has over 270 “fixes and security
patches”, that are automatically updated.
10. If you have kids start them off in the world of
Linux. It’s no longer Geek, Ubuntu, FreeSpire and
other variations are all good…and there is an
endless supply of free 3rd party applications. If
you are thinking about “transitioning to Windows
7″ (hope you have more horsepower by the way) it’s
actually no harder to pick up Linux than it is
Windows 7 and it’s free). Office.org is also
there and free, more than adequate for the vast
majority of you out there.
11. As more people transition away from Microsoft that
puts pressure on them (and others who
collaboratively produce free operating systems) to
make them better….perhaps someday bullet proof
BY SIMPLY PUTTING A SANDBOX ON THE FRONT END. Why
no one does this is beyond me. Think of the
advertising…..100% safe surfing.
12. Lastly, computers are not toasters nor are they
disposable. If you are not knowledgeable find
someone who is and have your machine set up
properly. They, just like a car, require
maintenance. Not doing maintenance simply opens up
the door to problems.
Hope this helps…and if you want to join the movement / be part of the solution simply cut and paste this to other blogs. We collectively need to deny malware practioners the opportunity to infect our machines and we need to force operating system providers to do the simple things (at least) to improve security.
Case rested. Drop me an email if you need advice or just appreciate the advice. Tangoblue@netscape.net

thanks, ray.
It was difficult to get this process done, but i appreciate the article and i will tell all my friends about it. I was in the middle of doing my psychology work when my computer reminded me that my protection expired this month and my college funds havent come through yet so i am not able to afford the things i need for class and my pc…. what is worse is that i have dial-up so most of the downloads that i need are unaccessable due to timeout errors. do you know a way i can get word 2007 for students without having the same issues with dial-up?
I believe that KIS 2009 is better…way more better
I need free antivirus with internet security.
google for “Googling the phrase lenovo serial number K100″ and you will find a lot of blogs with the same article.
But thanks for this article. My PC also conveys its regards…

to chris,
I wouldn\’t believe av-comparatives or AV-test 100% coz (if I\’m not mistaken) they are from German. Surely they\’ll rate their products such as avira and g-data better.
Thank you!!!!!!!
I love this program. For those who want to get a copy and updates for life search the web for heartbug, and the torrent show all his releases. his rls are 100% virus clean.
Thanks Raymond :)

mcafee 2009 has changed a bit as the alerts are different and be patient a beta test is still going on. which will end the december. and i keep wondering how u manager to find these ray
I love this program. For those who want to get a copy and updates for life search the web for heartbug, and the torrent show all his releases. his rls are 100% virus clean. check it out. thxs raymond

but
kaspersky just ADVANCED+97,6%
please provide me serials for ms office 2007 pro /ultimate send it to my id smart_anand01@yahoo.com
thanks in advance.
Salamat and Kudos Ray …

i believe that KIS 2009 is better…way more better
Do your computer a favour and skip this.It\’s the slowest and one of the most resource hugging security suite out there.I don;t get it.It\’s even slower than their 2008 products.
thanks ray really useful stuff
hope all mcAfee users will find this one great!
thanx raymond , does this slow my pc ?
i mean McAfee internet security comparing with kis ?
thanks Raymond,
Just got one 6 six months trial license for a friend of mine who had problems with AVG, I use Kaspersky 2009 , Avira or Norton 2009
Thanx raymond
To Sunderman,
You don’t need a software to do that….just go in disk management…it comes when u right click my computer
thx Ray.
You guys, if you’re a big fan of Kaspersky or other antivirus program, do continue using it. This would be useful for those who are currently using McAfee Internet Security 2009.
Prefer KIS, but what the heck!
Thanks!
Did anyone get the Kaspersky that was here a few days ago?
mukhang lahing pinoy to si ray.. nagpapalusot pa..
mcafee internet security should change his name to stupid internet security because it,s so slow. i am using kis 2009 is great internet security
I had 4 friends running McAfee and they all had antivirus2008.IMO there’s better ones out there than this.
Dear sir,
In my laptop just 2 drives have, one is c: and another is recovery manager D: I want partition my hard disc like C, D and E. If D take recovery system so okay I want E drive like back up or can save my other files, so how to do. Do you have any program so can do? If you give me information I will be very grateful toward you. Thank you.
Best regards
Sunderman
You don’t even need a correct email id. When the order completes…just click on Trial Link to McAfee and then click Download 6 months trial and move ahead to download. No need to click any link from email.
I have tested with inputting wrong email id and a random serial number.
thx raymond! i got 3..=P
Thank you!
Just make up a radom serial and it sould work for me it did.
Although I use Norton and KIS 2009 still, this will help ‘shan’ (in the Forum) and also all McAfee users.
thank u Raymond..
i tried already the 2009 version…its soo bad..scan takes century to complete on vista…unbelievable !!..Kaspersky is the best choice….1st scan 45min…any other scan takes 20 minute..thanx to the iSweft+iChecker Technology…
salamat – u got it again
Thanks bro….
Thanks Ray from Greece!
