Hi Let me shed further light on my point of view concerning Norton's renewal subscription. If I purchase the product and the installation goes hay wire, I believe it is incumbent on them to insure a successful installation. The purchaser should not have to incur further costs to insure a successful installation. If after a successful installation, something goes haywire ( your fault, puters fault, etc) and it requires a fee phone call to straighten out, then I would not mind paying the charge. Life is what happens in between plans.
