Forced renewal of Symantec premier products. Symantec premier products had degraded over the years. Not only some of the functionality hardly works and they are difficult to configure. For those reasons, I decided to replace them and currently reviewing competing products. However before I can do anything, sysmantec charged my credit card without my authorization to renew my product for 2019. So I called their billing department to argue their actions and they provided many excuses not to refund my $109.99 charge they made to my credit card. Be very aware about this despicable practices by symantec where when they can hardly sell their products, they start to do such disgusting practices to make their money by forcing their products to us.

support is awful even before broadcom support is awful even before broadcom. opened a ticket two weeks ago. don't see any traction in ticketing system after 2 days. went on chat, was told since new license period haven't begin, can't dl the new keys. waited two days after license period started, check ticketing system, still no traction. tried calling, but was on hold. gave up. came back today, still no update. called and was told the ticket got transfer & got lost in the shuffle. but did get answer finally.

Symantec Messaging Gateway (version 10.6.4-3) We had a Symantec Messaging Gateway (version 10.6.4-3). Broadcom without any notification, then stop to provide the anti-spam update, we just renew the license for 5 months, still have 7 months to go. When the beginning, I did not know what was happening, then I asked for help, their support told me that our version had already been ended of life as of 12/2019. They ignored me my questions, just told me to install the latest version 10.7.3 (not upgrade, our version had already been told a year ago that our current version cannot be upgraded because of the old CPU). Will stop to renew the service when the license expired, just leave the SMG to be a simple SMTP server or buy a new server with another Secure Email Gateway.

Greedy Norton. Norton will only renew your cover if you agree to an automatic payment next time it's due, this will be at a hugely inflated price.Kaspersky is a far cheaper and superior product that can be renewed manually at an agreed price.

Norton Internet Security not Ad-Free Norton Internet Security not Ad-Free I have been using Norton for over 20 years and not until the 2021 version have I had so many ad's but not from websites or 3rd party programs which Norton usually stops but these are from Norton begging me to renew the subscription. I used to get a courtesy remind around 30 days now I get multiple with offers and more from 70 days. This is not what I pay Norton for. Myself and my family members who use it are sick of 1st party popups and constant browser extension installation ad's that don't disable after pressing "Don't Show Again" has made me to decide to look somewhere else then Norton or keep to Microsoft.
