I made this decision in part because of the continual decline in Norton's customer service and refusal to publicly acknowledge known bugs until after fix is released ( Hot Issues and Fixes hasn't been updated since Sept 2018), but primarily because of this ridiculous business practice that forces customers who already purchased a legitimate product key from an authorized retailer to re-submit confidential billing information to Norton before they can manually renew their subscription. I purchased a cheap Norton Security product key for my Vista SP2 machine last year since it's one of the few AV companies that still supports older Win XP and Vista OSs (kudos to Norton for that) but Norton has been removed from my Win 10 machine, and for the first time in over a decade I won't be renewing my Norton subscription when it expires.

I agree that purchasing activation keys for software from online sites like eBay can be risky and that there is no obligation on Norton's part to provide refunds to anyone who purchases a fraudulent key from a scammer ( caveat emptor), but every Norton product key has an associated serial number and SKU numbers so there must be a better way for Norton to control activation of product keys that doesn't require customers to hand over their credit card number before they manually renew their subscription with a pre-purchased product key. Done and dusted - no fuss, no forced auto-renewal or requirement to provide any billing information.

In past years I could purchase Norton from my local Staples Canada or Best Buy store (i.e, a retail box with the product key written on a cardboard insert) the week after Christmas for $19.99 CAD (~ $15 USD), go to Help | Account Information | Enter Product Key the day before my annual subscription expired and simply enter the product key there to manually renew. And why does Norton keep justifying this data collection by telling me that I can log into my Norton Account at and delete that billing information after I've manually renewed? Why does Norton need to collect my credit card information every year when I renew my subscription if I haven't opted for automatic renewal or purchased my product key from their online store? Why should I be forced to provide personal contact information like my home address every year when I renew my subscription when Norton abuses that information by mailing advertising and renewal notices to customer homes (see ProTruckDriver's thread STOP Sending Me Renewal Notices By US Mail Service!!! - constantly spamming users with 'important' electronic messages and renewal notices that can't be disabled in the notification settings of their Norton Account apparently wasn't enough for the Marketing department).

The fact that Kaspersky offers both automatic renewal and manual renewal is a moot point unless they also force users to provide this type of confidential billing information year after year if a customer has chosen manual renewal. I can't speak for the OP Dodge125, but I think the point they were trying to make is that Norton customers are now forced to provide Norton with their credit card number and detailed personal contact information each time they try to renew their annual subscription, even if they purchase a legitimate product key from an authorized reseller and don't want to opt for automatic renewal.
