FREE Norton 360 Antivirus Download- Keep your family safe online

Norton 360 Antivirus

Are YOU protected?

I had always used free antivirus downloads on my computer, since I thought that they were enough to protect me. I don’t download songs or movies, and felt like I wasn’t doing anything very risky, so I had nothing to really worry about.

I was wrong!

I didn’t know that you can get a virus just by visiting a website that has been compromised, or a million other things I would have thought were totally “safe”. I had a few big problems, but luckily, nothing that was too complicated to fix.

Free Product Trial

As a Vocalpoint.com member, I got the opportunity last year to try the Norton Antivirus program for free… And it was pretty amazing. Super easy to set up, and it’s always super easy to use. It lets me know, {via a little warning box in the bottom corner} if I’m doing something that could put my computer at risk.

FREE Download!

Take advantage of this free Norton 360 Antivirus Download today… I’m not sure if this will be really quick freebie offer or if it’ll be around for awhile. But it is awesome, and I don’t want you guys to miss it! This is better than the version I have now, so I plan to upgrade mine with this freebie too!

Are you using Norton?

If so, share your stories of how it’s helped you too!

11 Free Things that New Moms Need Today

Babies are super cute… But they can be super expensive too!

I was already a freebie junkie before I got pregnant, but I really jumped into it more when I knew I had a baby on the way. There are SO many great free samples and coupons to be found for things like diapers, formula, wipes, food, toys… Really, everything you need to get ready for a little one. This is one of the best ways to try things out before investing in full-size products, so you learn what you and your baby like best. And you can rack up some major savings by stocking up on this stuff while you’re expecting – and it’s also an awesome way to build a frugal baby shower gift too, by filling a diaper bag with great samples, coupons, and trial sizes of baby stuff for the new mom to try out. Love it.

Samples, Coupons, Giveaways:

These are all resources that I have used myself to get great coupons, freebies, samples, and savings. The more mailing lists you get on – the more free stuff you’ll start to see show up in your mail too – Love it!

  1. Formula: Free sample of Simply Right baby formula- Sample Here. And then sign up to have a free sample of Members Mark baby formula  shipped to you too. If you plan to use formula, trying a few samples first is a great way to figure out how your baby will tolerate them. They’re all very similar, but there were a couple that Abby just couldn’t handle well at all. They’re so expensive, you definitely don’t want to purchase a brand that you’ll end up throwing away!
  2. Baby Magazines: These are SO awesome – they have fun articles and helpful tips, but they also have loads of high-value coupons! Some of my favorites are KIWI, Parents, & Family Fun – but here are two totally free options – American Baby Magazine and Baby Talk. Or, get one for you – Free subscription to Ladies Home Journal.
  3. Walmart: Find new updated samples a couple of times a week, with lots of great baby options like diapers or lotions.
  4. Travel Mug with Photo: Ok, this one is almost free. Get a super cute travel mug customized with a picture of your new baby. Perfect when you’re away from them during the day, or as an awesome gift for grandparents.
  5. Free Baby Book: Create a free online baby book to privately share photos, movies, and more with friends and family.
  6. Free Photo Canvas: I’m sure you’ve seen this Canvas People free offer before… But if you haven’t used it yet, check it out today. I promise you, you will LOVE the print when you get it. The quality is amazing, and it is such a beautiful way to remember your favorite baby moment…
  7. New Printable Diaper Coupons: Check out Planning Family for tons of fun freebies, advice, and a great community to chat with other new moms. But my favorite part is the printable diaper coupons section!
  8. Amazon Mom: Sign up for Amazon Mom to get FREE 2 day shipping on almost everything, plus big discounts on diapers and wipes! And, to earn FREE Amazon gift cards get a FREE account at Swagbucks!
  9. MySurvey: I’ve had really good luck with product tests from MySurvey, and have gotten diapers to try out two times now. They seem to have a lot of great opportunities for moms to sample new products for name brands.
  10. Free baby tshirt: There are so many great baby tees with funny sayings on them – think up one of your own, and put it on a tshirt you customize yourself, for only $2 bucks. Or make a super cute big brother or sister tshirt, to wear when you bring baby home for the first time. Love it.
  11. Zulily: Sign up for a FREE account at Zulily to get access to deals of up to 80% off designer baby, kids, and mom items.

If you have a little one on the way, already have a kiddo or two, or are an auntie or grandma, then these goodies will help you a ton. If you know other momma’s looking to save some money, feel free to use the social buttons to share this to your Facebook or Twitter – everyone loves a freebie.

Identity Hawk- Keep Your Family Safe

Identity Theft is Scary Stuff…

So many people have been the victim of Identity Theft {when someone gains access to your personal information, such as social security number, or credit card account info} or Identity Fraud {when that information is used by the theif to benefit themselves- Like using your credit card number to make purchases} that you’re bound to know at least one person who has gone through this.

Problems can Escalate Quickly

Most cases are pretty minor, and can be resolved quickly. I had a theif who was using my debit card to make purchases at a local mini-mart for months, before I realized that they weren’t MY purchases. Each sale was around $10-$30 dollars, but they had really added up! Luckily, all it took was a quick call to the bank, and I haven’t had trouble since then.

But… I have known a few people who started out noticing a small problem like that, thought that they had it taken care of, to find out later that the thief continued to use their info, and they were now facing MAJOR problems! That’s why I suggest checking out companies like IdentityHawk.

How IdentityHawk keeps you safe:

Whether you’ve had problems with identity theft in the past, or are just worried about it happening to your family in the future, IdentityHawk can be really helpful for you. They monitor your credit info, send you alerts when there is new activity on your accounts that might be suspicious {they even let you set up text message alerts!}, and give you protection against loss— Giving you a lot of piece of mind.

30 Day FREE Trial

I saw today that IdentityHawk is offering a 30 day FREE trial of their identity theft protection, so I wanted to share it with you guys! Check out their site to learn more about what the offer, and why it is SO important to protect yourself from this type of fraud.

Have any of you guys been a victim of Identity Theft or Fraud before? What do you do to keep your info safe?
