In all honesty and sincerity prospective buyers the item itself "Norton Internet Security 2012 3PC + Norton Anti-Theft v1.0 3PC Bundle" in a factory sealed retail box by Symantec in my experience comes with the Norton Proof of purchase tab removed. Rebate value now or for a future Norton purchase is zero. Functionality of the software is mediocre at best as with most security software bugs are fixed with Online updates from Symantec. Shop wisely! Good day eh!
