Robert,
I have my Norton software set up for automatic renewal. All I have to do is
be sure that my credit card info is up to date, and they renew it on the
anniversary date. My program always shows the countdown to my renewal date,
and, when it was renewed, they added 365 days to the countdown clock. I
can't see where I have been victimized.
