More often than not even Norton themselves cannot fix the subscription problems and cannot even uninstall their own software. Reminds me of AOL many years back that would take over the system and had no way to remove. (They later got their asses sued off due to these types of issues and I think Norton should as well.) Norton often requires a complete machine rebuild to fix the issue and in todays' world that is just unacceptable. I belive Harrison said that the new version supposedly fixes these issues and I certanly hope so... But for my money I will not take a chance on their shoddy software when there are so many alternative options out there...

Just my opinion... Good luck with whatever choice you make..
Hmm, interesting!

I guess for me, I always have had my laptop connected to the net, so I've had no need to remove it. I can't say that I've ever experienced that issue. Interesting that it is such an issue though.

But in terms of protection, how would you rate it/ what do you think is the best? That's what I'm looking for, as for me, I haven't had issues with installation, activation or updates...
