Windows Talk is giving away two copies of Vipre Antivirus.

Winners will be chosen on Wednesday September 23rd at approximately 8:00 PM Atlantic Standard Time (GMT –3).

Find out more here: Vipre Antivirus Giveaway.

Update: The winner is posted here.

Side note: The winner will receive a boxed version of Windows 7, ordered from Amazon and not just a license key.

Last week, I attempted to give away Windows 7 Home Premium, but the winner has not come forward to claim their prize. I’ve tried, multiple times, to contact them and I’ve not heard back.

• I’ve decided to bump the prize up to Windows 7 Ultimate!
• The competition will run for 77 hours and end on Sunday, September 20, 2009 @ 5 P.M. EST.

What Do I Win?

Windows 7 Ultimate (Retail: $319.99)
