    Hey Rutt. Here in China you can get any software, including PS7, for one dollar (8 yuan). Maybe their distributor is Chinese.

    Well I agree it is fishy. They did manage to get google to take their add, which is better than what happened when I tried to attach an add to the keywords "president united states".
    If not now, when?

    Have you tried typing in weapons of mass destruction and hitting the I'm Feeling Lucky button?

    Yep, I know about that. But they didn't buy it. They used a server farm.

    From the site's FAQ.
    What do I get when I order something from you?
    You get the CD(s) with the software in an envelope. You also get the activation key, serial number or CD key necessary to activate the software. Note, that you will not be able to register the software with the manufacturer and get technical support.

    Where does this software come from ?
    The software is shipped from Eastern Europe.

    Stay far away. Any site that says "Hurry up and order. Supplies are limited!" sounds super-shady.

    And if they're related to Viagra spam then you know exactly what type of business ethics they practice.
