Could the World Cup protect your PC against malware?

Posted on 11 Jun 2010 at 17:03

Internet security firm G Data has announced that UK customers who buy any of its Private User internet security products between the 11th of June 2010 and the 11th of July 200 will get an extra month of free protection for every World Cup game England wins.

That translates as one month free if England wins their first qualifier, four months if they make it into the quarter finals, six months if they make it into the final and 10 months if they win it. While that might not be enough to convert the most die hard "anyone but England" supporters, it's certainly an extra reason to run around your sitting room with your shirt over your head.

The offer applies to copies of G Data TotalCare 2011, InternetSecurity 2011, AntiVirus 2011 and NotebookSecurity 2011 bought online from the G Data store.

James Coombes of G Data says: “It is great to be able to support our team in such a positive way. If England does well in the World Championship, our customers will be the biggest winners. Not only have they been able to watch a great achievement of our football team, they can also sit back and relax knowing their security software is protected with an additional gift from G Data. Let’s just hope this extra pressure to play perfectly does not cause psychological problems for our footballers!”
