Cyber Monday, coined in 2005 by a shopping trade group that noticed online sales spiked on the Monday following Thanksgiving, is the next in a series of days that stores are counting on to jumpstart the holiday shopping season.

It's estimated that this year's Cyber Monday will be the biggest online shopping day of the year for the third year in a row: According to research firm comScore, Americans are expected to spend $1.5 billion, up 20 percent from last year on Cyber Monday, as retailers have ramped up their deals to get shoppers to click on their websites.

Wah! I wanted only one thing on Cyber Monday and no one I trust put it on sale (mutter, mutter, mumble mumble)! I've been checking frequently since Thursday.

Last year Johnny found MBAM Pro w/Lifetime Subscription (disk) for $9.99
It's not there yet this year but something to keep your eye on as a stocking stuffer:

MBAM Pro is $20 right now on Amazon (normally $30). I'm still waiting for Klingon to get out of beta (check the features on MBAM's website).
