Why when I connect my laptop from home does kaspersky.com tell me that the Personal Security Suite is $79.95, but when I connect from a business location it tells me that the same software is $49.95???

Needless to say, I didn't pay $79.95!

I just checked from my home computer.
For the Suite it's showing 49.99 with out cd for 1 year and 20.00 more for 2 years.
Same as I paid last Oct.

Maybe the 79.99 is for 2 yrs. with the cd which is 10.00 more.

| If I use that link to the Estore I get the $49.95 price, but if I click back to "Products" it comes up as $79.95. Clicking the "Buy Online" button it seems very willing to charge me the $80.

Notice from Dadkins' screenshot that the "offer" is for USA and Canada only (also note the 'usa' in the domain).
If I go to the Kaspersky site (the 'www' site), the link is actually as follows:
»www.kaspersky.com/personal-security-usa
Even if the "-usa" is removed and the page reloaded, both addresses show the lower pricing schedule ($49.95 / 1yr).
So ... I tried it with TOR, assuming that the exit node may be outside the USA (or otherwise couldn't be determined), and the page URL was as follows (note the "-usa" as shown above is missing from the URL):
»www.kaspersky.com/personal-security
and the page that is displayed reflects the higher pricing (79.95 / 1yr. & 127.90/ 2yrs.)
It's all about where you live (or where Kaspersky's servers think you live). |

It's because you don't have the country selected yet if you use products link, if you use eStore you're required to select your country first. |

Doesn't make a difference. I can select the country and it still shows $79.95 in products. And it will take my $80...I went through the "Buy Online" process right up to the final confirmation screen and it was willing to charge me $80 even after selecting my location. And going from Estore back to products it reverts to $79.95.
I can use a different computer from a different network or the same computer on a different network and it shows properly as $49.95 without making any country selection. I'm beginning to think Kaspersky has something out for Earthlink IP addresses.
