I bought a license for Kaspersky Internet Security software from what looked like a reputable site called purplus.net (aka Purplus Software).  The license key worked for about 4 months and then suddenly the Kaspersky software said the key was black listed, which means Kaspersky has found that too many computers are trying to use this license key, so they disable the key from working and the software becomes useless.

A common scam on the internet is that the same license key for a software product is sold to multiple people, so that they can make money multiple times from selling one real license they bought from software producer. 

I later found out that Purplus is not an authorized reseller of Kaspersky software according to Kaspersky.  Don't be fooled.

Purplus is a reputable company

AUTHOR: Purplus - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, March 04, 2010

Purplus is a reputable company that has been in business for over 18 years. We are rated highly on various market places and guarantee we did not sell copies to multiple customers. We believe Kaspersky decided to regionalize their products-even products already sold, which caused some keycodes to stop working. Purplus is committed to customer satisfaction and has either replaced or refunded every customer who contacted us with this issue. Purplus is a proud, independent internet retailer with no direct relationship with Kaspersky and therefore would not be listed as their authorized seller.
