Users who purchase Nero 9 will get an additional software package with three products included

Karlsbad, Germany (November 27, 2008) — Nero, creator of liquid media technology, announced today the annual Nero Winter Special for 2008. Users in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa who buy Nero 9 will additionally receive a software package valued at over €100 absolutely FREE. The software package includes TuneUp Utilities 2008, Steganos Safe™ 2008, and AudialsOne 3 SE.
Nero 9 is the latest version of the world-renowned digital media suite. A variety of new features make it easier than ever before to edit and organize multimedia content. With the click of a mouse, users can create videos with fun template themes for intros and credits, background music, and transitions. Music fans can enjoy additional track information such as artist name, album title, and album cover art from Gracenote® music services. An innovative new feature lets users watch live and time-shifted TV directly on their PC and schedule recordings to play back later. Automatic backups with e-mail notification ensure punctual data protection. Nero supports burning data to CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray Discs.
TuneUp Utilities 2008 increases the performance of Windows PCs. System errors and common Windows problems are easily repaired and high-performance system defragmentation shortens the load time of Windows, programs, and games. TuneUp Utilities 2008 increases hard drive storage space by removing unwanted files throughout the entire system. As well, TuneUp Utilities 2008 lets users create a customized Windows interface.
Steganos Safe™ 2008 protects personal data from unwanted access. The suite lets users create data safes, each with up to 256 GB of storage space for laptops, PCs, and USB sticks. Each safe is password protected and users can generate highly-secure passwords, use an image sequence as a password, and even use an iPod® or USB stick as a key.
AudialsOne 3 SE is the ideal solution for music fans looking to increase their personal media collections by downloading legal MP3s and videos. This software from RapidSolutions searches online radio stations and video portals and loads data directly onto the user’s PC, enhancing collections overnight with hundreds of songs and videos.
“With this extensive software package our users get a great number of additional features for data security, increased system performance, and media collection enhancement," said Patrick Peeters, general manager EMEA, Nero AG. “We have a successful, long-standing partnership with each of the companies contributing to this promotional offer and we are convinced that Nero 9 users will benefit greatly from the software products from TuneUp, Steganos, and RapidSolutions."
