Latest Store News

Are you still using Windows 7? If you are, you might (or might not) be aware that Microsoft is ending support for the operating system in January. This means software released after this date may not work with Windows 7 and definitely not for Vista or XP.

We have both Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Professional listed in the store and available for a fantastic price through December and January, so there's never been a better time to upgrade!

Hurry as these Windows 10 offers are part of Microsoft's January 2020 promotion to get people to move up to the latest Windows 10!

We like to think we have some of the best software prices in the market. However, there's always room for a little improvement, especially with Black Friday around the corner.

Our Black Friday will run from midnight 28 November through midnight 2 December.

Choice will be limited, but look out for deals on these four products:

• iolo System Mechanic 19: normally £14.95, only £13.49
• Bitdefender Family Pack 2020 [1-YR]: normally £29.99, now only £26.99
• AVG Secure VPN 2020 [5-D, 1-YR]: normally £49.99, now only £14.99 - top deal!
• McAfee Total Protection 2020 [10-D, 1-YR, normally £17.99, now only £14.99!

Hurry as these offers will revert back to the normal sales price from 3 December!

We first launched this software store in November 2009. Ten years ago! We felt it was in dire need of a visual refresh. The old store design wasn't mobile-friendly at all.

Two months in development and we're proud to present a brand new store design and an updated Cleverbridge cart. We're happy with both.

The main difference is this new store design is easier to navigate, read and understand. It also works very effectively on your iPad or Android tablet device and you can browse on your phone if you desire (not recommended for using to order, however).

We'd love your feedback! Do you like the new design? Any issues you've noticed?

NEW! We've also added a brand new Live Chat option to the bottom right of the store. This option will be available during office hours (and occassionally a Saturday!) if you want to speak with the Computeractive Software Store team with any store-related questions. If we're online, we'll answer immediately!

Norton has upped its game. Most people would agree a VPN is essential, particularly if you use a mobile device. When you're out and about on your smartphone or tablet, it's too easy to connect to the free wifi. Problem is, you don't know who controls or has access to this wifi. A VPN will create a secure and safe tunnel between your device and the internet, scrambling all data you submit, meaning you and browse safely and securely. A VPN can also be used to locate yourself in another country and/or simply to add an additional layer of security to your internet connection.

Secure VPN is now part of the brand new Norton 360 Deluxe and Premium!

Norton 360 also offers a password manager you can use across devices, 25GB, 50GB or 75GB of cloud backup for your essential files and parental controls.

We have a world exclusive launch price for Norton 360 Deluxe 3-Device, 1-Year for only £15 or 3-Device, 2-Year for £25. You can also buy Norton 360 Premium 10-Device, 1-Year for £19.99 or a massive 10-Device, 2-Year for the bargain price of £29.99!

Hurry though as these launch offers will end 31 December 2019!
