A free demo of the bundled apps is also available. A few of these apps even include multi-use licenses, making the deal even better. The Mac Internet Security pack will cover up to three Macs, and the 1000 fonts collection supports up to five computers (yes, even Windows machines).
We’re admittedly on the geekier side of things so our staff favorites from the bundle are Parallels for virtualizing other operating systems, iStats for keeping track of various performance indicators, Prizmo for the awesome OCR scanner, and DiskAid for the ability to easily transfer things to and from iOS devices, but all of the apps will be great additions to your Mac.

And it’s in USD??
I dont understand how they can do this… What’s the catch?
There is no catch. MacUpdate works out agreements with the developers of these applications for promotional reasons, and they do a revenue share. It’s great publicity for the developers, it’s a great way to support websites that promote the offers, and it’s great for the user because you get a great deal on the software. Kind of a win-win all around.
