I'm not an IT security expert and have used Nortons on and off for many years. My programmer son says I'm just slowing down my computer and should change to McGaffe or Malware Bites. At any rate, I started out with the 5 licence 50G back up that was increased in price to now a $115 renewal and constantly getting the alerts to pay for other add ons to get more protection. Things like VPN, Darkweb monitoring, Life Lock,....the Life Lock added which I'm not sure is even set up correctly. I don't recall handing out my SS#. Just a heads up the price will grow. For a piece of mind $115 isn't much but it doesn't fix PC issues like register problems a common Windows problem

Within 10 minutes of paying for this I had it installed/updated on my main computer AND my laptop. It's not difficult & very easy to opt out of auto-renewal. Follow these steps:

Once you pay go to your Amazon Orders, click on your order and click "View Your Item"
>> It will show you a screen with your new product key (copy if you want). Click "Redeem"
>> This takes you to the Norton website where you need to login. You will have to enter payment info but don't worry, you can delete this... I entered a credit card so if Norton plays any stupid games I can process a charge back.
>> As soon as your account is activated, while you're still on the website, hover your mouse over your account name and click "Manage My Subscriptions."
>> You'll have to click that you want to cancel several times. Just pay attention and read, it's very easy. Some buttons will be gray. Don't try to talk to anyone, you can do it all by yourself.
>> Once auto renewal is cancelled you can go into your account, billing info and delete the CC info you just put in.
>> You can click download from the website to download the latest version, which will install over your existing Norton. Only took a few min to install & update.

NOTE: I never needed my product key for anything.

>> Any subsequent downloads to other PC's can be handled right thru the website. Just go to the website & login on that machine and download the same way you just did and DONE.

One last thing I'll mention is that my desktop did not require a restart to finalize installation but my laptop did for whatever reason.

Enjoy your next year of antivirus subscription!

I see a lot of people complaining about how they're having such a difficult time with Norton and as someone who has dealt with their nonsense in the past, I was pleased to find this work out so easily. My subscription expired as of yesterday and I needed to renew so I was determined to do it no matter what.

Anyone who can rub two braincells together knows that Norton's automatic subscription renewal (through your Norton account) costs like 5x more than what you originally paid. Not sure why Norton likes to play these stupid games but it must count for something if they continue to do it year after year.

It's always cheaper to buy a fresh new version than renew like that. Btw, it's still cheaper here on Amazon than renewing with a discount on Norton's own website, which they will offer you if you have auto-renewal turned off... and you should do so immediately after installing.

No, you do not have to chat with an agent to cancel. Someone else posted that they did but they must not have read much before proceeding. Look for the grey buttons. Follow the prompts and cancel your auto renewal, you'll be promted a few times.

You do have to enter billing info in the beginning, which my PayPal info was saved from last year. If you really don't trust Norton, then once your sub is active just remove your billing info, which I went ahead and did as a precaution even though I know for a fact they didn't abuse it.

I have Norton installed across all my devices, this one in particular being a Windows 10 machine. So yes, it does work just fine on Windows 10. Once purchased I simply went to my Amazon software library where the digital orders was, clicked the yellow "Redeem" button & reinstalled it with the prompts and everthing happened automatically.

At first it didn't make sense that it needed to download again. However, it took less than a minute and after all was said and done, the new subscription info updated within the program itself on my computer, which I had open literally the entire time. Didn't even have to copy and paste any key codes.

Try not to overcomplicate things and you'll be just fine!!!

I have had Norton on my computer for over 20 years. No doubt Norton has the biggest share of the anti-virus security market in US. All my friends have it. It must be doing a great job. However, I have observed that with this dominance status, Norton is being manipulative. There are constant aggressive marketing style unleashed to loyal customers. A good example is the VPN. VPN would block all searches on Google, AT&T, Bank websites, etc. Ultimate goal is to have one download Norton browser. In addition, Norton manipulates customers into buying proxy services. It would be easy to have these proxy services programmed into Deluxe, Premier or Ultimate Anti-virus software. Instead, Norton markets these separately. It is annoying to be constantly reminded that companies are selling your credentials, drivers are out of date, etc, etc

I buy every year on Amazon. Don't let Symantec bully you. Call them and cancel the auto charge option or let your credit card die and don't update it after you set up your new subscription so they don't jam you sixty days prior to expiration. This is the best route. From there all you have to do is login to your Norton account for each computer. You cannot send a link that will work to another computer. That's misleading. Simply log in and protect a new computer one at a time once you set up the first one with the new subscription. It will Load over your existing version of Norton in a few minutes and your in business. Norton wants to make it intimidating and appear more complex than it is so they can charge you more. Don't be fooled!! It's easy and this is the product that works great for extending a subscription to the next year when you already have Norton on your computers

I got this on as a special. I always had used Norton 360. At the end of your subscription they bill you for a new subscription at an exorbitant price over 125. So I just go back online to buy another.
