What a scam. Beside the little Norton icon I had a red X. When I clicked on as to why, it indicated that there was a problem with the browser. I tried to rectify it, but Norton kept switching it back to the unsafe mode. They told me that I didn't have the product key. Now, I have been paying them via my charge card for three years running on the same date; they draw the money off my account. I had 256 days left in my account. For all these years, if I had the product key, surely I still have it. They had a little message that I needed to uninstall their product, and then reinstall it. Bull. If I did that, I know they'd charge me again. I sent them a message telling them what I thought of their idea and the fact that this was a rip off. Suddenly, their little Norton Icon was totally missing.
No wonder so many people switch to AVG.
Update...after an e-mail or two to the company in which I ended up basically calling them for the back end of the above animal, the problem is solved. Only now, they are giving me the nanny treatment---the pop-ups asking me if they want my traffic monitored by some parental control thing? NO NO NO.
