The Raiders of the Lost Walmart are the brave retail archaeologists who comb our nation’s retail stores for hopelessly outdated electronics at comically high prices. The items may not always be useless or dangerous, but they are destined to either be purchased by clueless customers or to sit on the shelf indefinitely.
That’s certainly the case for these two antivirus programs that Jeremy found at his local Walmart in New Jersey. “Considering you can get really good antivirus programs for free,” he wrote to Consumerist, “I can’t see anyone buying these and [they] will probably be sitting there forever.”
That seems likely. These programs would be a bad deal even if they were marked $1. That has never stopped Walmart from putting something on the clearance rack before, though.
