Read this as a reminder.
There is always email received from banks asking you to update your account or verify something. This emails sometime looks very genuine and do dupe and trap innocent account holders into believing the scam. I used to receive emails from Citibanks before and jus ignored it after finding that the mail does not come from the banks address but from yahoo or microsoft.
Today while spring cleaning my spam mail box, I came across an email from CIMB warning me about my account that has been blocked. They are very lucky because I have an account with CIMB and even CIMBclicks. I click open the email and read it. The warning with a red background do make your heart throb because it warn about false claims. Hahahaha..... they think I am that stupid. The email warned me about their InternetBanking server being attacked by DDos and need to verify the integrity of my CIMBClicks account. The rest of the line looks so genuine when they even ask to request for aTAC from the bank. Thats a normal securityprocedure undertaken by internet banking activities.
On the 'Here's how to get started' , there are two links that is not working. Profesional eh?. As usual I will check the origin of the email and it show that it does not come from CIMB because it is only a comb.com whereas CIMB uses dot com dot my. Attached is the email. Read more after the attachment below.
Since the email looks genuine and sounds genuine, I log in to my CIMBClicks account to check whether it has really being locked. The email requested me to respond within 24 hours that is on 17th December 2008 and today it has already exceeded tha date line and therefore my account has been locked. Well, I still can access my CIMBClicks. Seems internet conmen are getting smarter but we as consumer must also be smart.
All you out there, be careful when dealing with such cases. Conmen are looking for every which way and tactics they can to rob us of our money.

Hi,
I encountered more or less the same problem when I bought an original Karsperksky at the PC Fair. After keying in the CD Key no. successfully, I checked & realized it was a trial version.
I tired all means to get it right. Finally as a last resirt, I unstalled & installed again. This time it work.
If it is really a trial version then you must take it back to the shop that sold you the pack. Or report to Techlane who is the official local company for the software.
A trial version is only for a limited time whereas the original licence is for one year.
