Days’ Deidre Hall Receives Internet Safety Gift!

Thursday, March 13 2008


Deidre and Marian at the event!
Recently we had the pleasure of connecting with a Days of Our Lives fan, Stephanie, who put us in touch with Marian Merritt, Symantec’s Internet Safety Advocate, who appeared at the Silver Spoon Pre-Oscars Gift Suite and presented Deidre Hall (Marlena) with a Norton 360 All-in-One Security gift!

Although most fans only wish to be able to attend one of these events, we have the next best thing for you! Sit back while we take you through the door and into the special Lounge area of the stars…

Amy: Why was Deidre Hall at this particular event?

Marian Merritt: “The Silver Spoon Pre-Oscars Gift Suite was an occasion for stars such as Ms. Hall to learn first hand about the most exciting and new products, such as Symantec's all-in-one security product, Norton 360.”

Amy: Why did Deidre receive the Norton 360 All-in-One Security gift?

Marian Merritt: “Ms. Hall is an avid PC user and knows the importance of preventing cybercriminals from talking to her fans when she goes online.”

Amy: What did Deidre have to say about the Pre-Oscars and her gift?

Marian Merritt:
“She was greatly appreciative and really understands the importance for everyone who uses computers to be protected from viruses and other online threats.”

Amy: “Who else was at the gift lounge?”

Marian Merritt:
“Ms. Hall was our biggest celebrity and it was a complete thrill to meet a daytime legend like her. We also were visited in our lounge by other stars such as Kathy Joosten and Zane Huett from "Desperate Housewives"; Joey Fatone from Dancing with the Stars; Shane West of "ER"; Daveigh Chase from "Big Love" and many others. Jason Reitman, the talented director of "Juno" spent some serious time in our lounge, discussing the merits of PC vs. Mac. Fortunately, we had software for both systems.”

Amy: Is there anything else you'd like to share about the experience?

Marian Merritt: Online security impacts each and every one of us. And it's so important to educate our kids about being safe online. New parents like Scott Baio as well as child stars like Zane Huett and Mark Indelicato (of "Ugly Betty") were excited to take home a copy of our award-winning free book, "Family Online Safety Guide", to learn more about internet safety in addition to the free software. Visitors to Soaps.com can download their own copy (in English or Spanish) from our website."

Soaps.com wants to thank Marian for talking with us about not only meeting one of our most loved Days of Our Lives stars, but for making the public aware of just how important Internet Safety can be to those who incorporate this modern luxury into their everyday lives!
