Norton Rebate scam

This complaint is regarding a rebate offer. Symantec offered a $25 rebate on the purchase of its Norton 360 software if purchased between 2/24/08 and 3/29/08 (promotion # 08-04998). On 3/22/08 I purchased the Norton 360 software for $74.99. I mailed in the rebate with supporting documentation on 3/24/08. After waiting 8 weeks and not receiving the rebate or a reply, I sent an online inquiry to Symantec asking about the rebate. I did not receive a reply to my inquiry. I called their 800 number and spoke with a representative who told me to resubmit my rebate and gave me the resubmission address. I resubmitted the rebate on 6/10/08. Again, I did not receive the rebate or a response. So, I again resubmitted the rebate on 8/28/08. Again, I did not receive the rebate or a response. On 10/15/08 I sent another online inquiry asking about the status of my rebate. This time I did get a reply. The rebates customer service person called Diego emailed me back that they were unable to find a record of my rebate submission and I could not resubmit it because this promotion was closed. Only after the promotion was closed did they respond to me. They had no intention of honoring the rebate offer and just wait for people to give up. The reason I purchased their product and not another was because of the rebate offer. This company is misleading consumers by getting them to purchase a $75 product with the promise of a $25 rebate that they have no intention of paying. A quick search of the internet found several other people complaining because they did not receive their rebates from Symantec, so this is not an isolated case. I have filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and urge others who have had a similar experience with Symantec to do the same.

Norton annual renewal

I was not planning to renew the Norton Security on my PC for this year. When the reminder came up that my subscription was going to expire within a month, I opted not to renew. Tried to uninstall the program using their uninstall option but program did not go away.

Received nearly hourly reminders of the renewal. After several days, I received an "upgrade now" message and wasn't sure if it was for my current subscription, so I upgraded and was charged as a renewal for the next year. There was no message regarding any fees for the upgrade or fees for the renewal until I saw it as a message AFTER the upgrade.

I am a Canadian. I am trying to renew my Norton 360 which expires in one day. When I enter my phone number, which of course has a Canadian area code .Your information informs me that I must enter a valid phone number, which I of have. but it still insists that the information submitted requires to be valid.

I am not aware that I gave permission for Norton to renew my security for my computer. I broke down my computer three months ago and stored it away. I need this renewal to be credited back to me. I will not be using my home computer for approximately 18 months.

I had a problem with the program a couple of months ago where it suggested to be uninstalled and reinstalled. The program was never able to be reintalled although we tried for several days and I was unable to find a working phone number to contact customer support, so I was forced to buy a different program. I have not had Norton for several months now but I received a statement from my credit card with charges from your company. I never received notification stating I was going to be charged for a renewal. I never authorized the renewal, therefore, I never authorized the charges made to my credit card ($49.99) for the renewal of the program on 11/17/08. This was a scam, you took advantage of my credit card information and charged me without my concent. I want the money to be credited back to my account, or I will take legal action against your company. I want my credit card information to be removed from your computers and the automatic renewal. I am not interested in doing business with you. I would like someone to contact me regarding this matter as soon as possible. Hilda Rivera([protected]

Norton spyware virus removal

I paid 99.00 for spyware & virus removal service, a 30 day program to eliminate spyware from pc. Was on for hours and hours and hours. Got rid of problem but eliminate sw on machine including symantec antivirus sw. Now they are telling me to take my pc to the original provider! They will not fix the issues they created. Was on phone a second time for over 8 hours being bounced from agent to agent. They told me to take my issues elsewhere. When i asked for a refund they scheduled a time for customer service to contact me. I still have not been able to fix my pc or get a refund. What a scam! Stay away from this service.

This is the letter I'm sending to them.

June 1, 2008

To Whom It May Concern: (since I can’t find an address, a contact name, department or person to send this to)

I received a BIG FAT RED X on my computer on Sunday June 1, 2008 indicating that my Norton anti-virus subscription had expired. I thought that I had renewed anti-virus and internet security in December 2007, apparently not. After about 5 tries to get to your website and download anti-virus only, I was able to get through all the screens and make the purchase for 39.99. When I went to print my order page, the system froze. When I drilled down through your site to find a contact us, it asked to download support files in order to chat, I pressed the dialogue box to do so and got nothing. So not only did I not get help, I did not get my download. I went back to your site to try to return it what I DID NOT get which was the 2008 Anti-virus download, and it wouldn’t let me send an email because I didn’t have an order number. I DID NOT RECEIVE AN ORDER NUMBER BECAUSE EVERYTHING I TRIED ON YOUR SITE, FAILED AND CRASHED.

I don’t understand what kind of customer service you have. You can’t talk to anyone on the phone without paying money, you can’t chat with anyone online without downloading support files that do not download and you took my money.

Let me tell you something. These are hard economic times. The $40 I spent on ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FROM YOUR COMPANY, could have gone into my gas tank or put some food on my table. I am woefully disappointed with the number of hoops required in order to get your product and the additional thousand hoops required to get some help with your products. I have currently uninstalled (I hope) every Symantec application from my computer. I WANT MY MONEY BACK AND I want you to address for me and for any other person who has spent their hard earned money on your products, why it’s so difficult to get them and why it so difficult to get some help on them. Times are much too difficult to PAY MONEY FOR FOOLISHNESS.

I have the 2007 Norton AntiVirus, purchased 2 months ago for $34.98. This morning, out of the blue it wasn't working, needed activation.I had done nothing to cause this-it was fine the night before when I ran a system scan then turned it off.

The activation feature wouldn't complete and kept dumping me onto their site. No info for repair for this version, the solution was to call, after filling out a complicated pre-phone call form. I was then given a priority case number, and phone number to call, with a 10 minute wait time. The lines were too busy to even put a call through for 30 minute, and when I finally did get through, it was another 40 minutes of waiting. The call center employee had such a heavy accent I could not understand him well, but at least he answered.

I explained (though I had typed the exact same explanation on the pre-call form), and he acted like he had never heard of such a thing. Also couldn't believe I had dial up, stated he couldn't help me unless I called back with a cell phone and the computer hooked to land line. Told him no, had no cell (I pay by the minute!) and he told me to go to www.symantec.com/search and all my problems would be answered. "Call us back anytime!" he said cheerily. I told him the website's only solution for the problem was to call. He repeated that the website would take care of everything, then hung up.

That of course was the page I started with. I figured uninstalling and reinstalling would work and it did, and of course with dial up it was another 90 minutes getting the updates re-installed.

I have searched high and low-this company has no means for making a complaint about service or products. I kick my self for renewing but I couldn't believe they would make the mistakes they had with past versions.

It becomes unregistered periodically and stops protecting my computer. This is a piece of software that I rely on to be ALWAYS working, and for it to stop working is a critical flaw. I used to be able to register it easily, but now it says that I can't register it because it is already registered. I tried calling customer service and was on hold for an hour before giving up. I also tried emailing them but could not find an email address. They have been difficult to get in touch with in the past. I've wasted too many hours with this product. (I also tried subscribing to the virus updates, and even that was unsuccessful!)

I was billed $68.03 on my credit card for which the activity description of the monthly credit card statement says "Norton Annual Renewal [protected] ON. I have four operating computers in my house installed Norton products but three of them are still have 400 days of subscription remaining and I canceled automatic annual renewal for the other. I do not use other Norton product so I do not understand why I was billed. I did not receive any notification by email about this billing beforehand. I think the number written in the statement is telephone number. I am living in Canada but I am English as second language person. I can read and write English very well but have some problem in oral conversation especially communication through telephone. There is no reason I have to pay to the unknown charge without any chance to oppose it. Does any one help me to solve this problem.

Norton scam and cheating

I was charged directly from my bank account two weeks before my Norton Anti Virus subscription was due and when I called to let them know that I did not want their service and wanted a refund I was told by their representatives I would get my money within 5 to 10 days, it has already been almost two months and still no sign of my money. Every time I call to inquire about my money it is always the same story and my problem never gets resolved. I do not ever recall ever enrolling in their automatic renewal service, which they claim I did. I just feel that they are constantly lying to me and hope that I give up so they could keep my money.

The computer that I had original put the Norton Virus protector, has not had internet connected to it since 2006. I know I would never have bought an automatic renewal, mainly because I don't believe technology last long. I could be using something completely different next year.

Norton stopping 60 days free trial

I never wanted to try Norton 360, but I got a brand new computer, and it wouldn't continue if I didn't try Norton 360. I wanted to cancel my free 60 day trial. I finally found a way to cancel these services by this email. It hasn't been the full 60 days. I don't want to be charged. I did everything to try to cancel, but the cancellation would not go through. This is my email to contact me for confirmation that the cancellation went through for my own records. Your website for Norton 360 makes it hard to cancel services. On the site it does not have anything that shows that you can cancel.

If you have a problem with getting Norton off your computer, they offer a free removal tool that can be downloaded from Symantec: http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080710133834EN&ln=en_US

I agree it was very sketchy how difficult they make it. On their site once you do drill down and manage to find some text about how to cancel, instead of telling you the steps it says to follow the directions you received in your order confirmation email. Why they can't just reiterate it there is so stupid, because this is what the email says:

1. click here to go to the order status page. (the URL is: https://shop.symantecstore.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayOrderStatusPage&Env=BASE&Locale=en_US&SiteID=symnahho&ThemeID=106300)
2. Login using either your Order Number and password or e-mail address and the last five digits of your credit card.
3. Press the “Find Your Order” button to view the product to cancel.
4. Go to the bottom of the page and click the “Cancel your Order” button.
5. You will then see a Web page confirming your cancellation.

It's really quite simple once you have the above instructions, and they could have put this on their website as well, but I think they unfairly make it difficult so it's too difficult/time consuming to cancel.

Norton subscription problems

My two-year Norton Antivirus subscription is about to expire in three days. I am having a resubscription problem, yet I am unable to contact Symantec via the links on their web site.

I recently received a credit card bill that lists an automatic subscription renewal for their software that I did not authorize. I was planning to use a different credit card than the one I used last time, and it is creating a problem. So unfortunately they already billed me, but the software I paid for did not load; also I was not ready to resubscribe until a day before my current subscription expires. I feel like they tricked me into resubscribing, and resubscribing earlier than I would have liked to. Not only that, but they billed the wrong credit card number, and gave me a one-year subscription when I was planning to buy another two-year subscription. What a mess!

Now I don't know if I should go ahead and do a subscription download from the Symantec web site or not. I am afraid that they will double bill me, and I won't be able to complain to them. All the links for free Symantec technical support do not work; when you click on them, nothing happens! I feel like I'm losing my mind! I guess my only recourse is to call their head office in Cupertino, a long-distance phone call from where I live; hopefully I can resolve the problem that way.

I think Symantec is really overstepping their bounds by automatically resubscribing their customers. They have billed me for a one-year subscription, but have failed to give me instructions on what to do next. I feel like I don't even have the satisfaction of subscribing when I wish to do so. If they really have faith in the quality of their product, why do they have to resort to trickery to force people to resubscribe? Also why do none of their free "contact us" links work?

one day when on my internet i was bombarded with your latest norton-anit virus 13, as being the latest in security. when i tried to acces it, it was not possible, and then i tried at least 6 times to remove the window, so after that i accepted under duress as i was in the middle of a Important transaction at the time and did not want to lose my contact with the people i was dealing with. Ever since that day, i have noticed a marked disabled Internet proformance and not able to get on, before i accepted under what i consider a violation of my rights, and obtianing control over my private live, which i am considering consulting my full rights by law. All i wanted to do was get my personel control back and ask one of your team to put me through to a technical advisor to remove it from my computer and REFUND me the costs of this aggresive manner in which i was forced to do, under duress.

2. READ THE OFFER DOCUMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU PAY MONEY
3. WATCH OUT FOR MICRO LETTER TERMS AND CONDITIONS( This is done with the intention of defrauding the Customer)

5 NONE OF THE COMPANIED REVEAL WHAT IS BEING "up dated"

I haven't used Norton or any Symantec products for three years and my credit card expired. They pushed through the charge without
a) getting my new expiry date
b) emailing me before or after the charge
c) sending me any sort of download for whatever product I paid for.

Norton unauthorized charges to credit cards

I want to encourage everyone who has been VICTIMIZED by Norton (Symantec) to report the activity to your respective State Attorney General's Office. They are responsible for investigating and taking action against these types of crimes. Most of the state AG's have online complaint forms.

***Florida's AG's online form (copy and paste): http://myfloridalegal.com/Contact.nsf/Contact?OpenForm&Section=Economic_Crimes

a) getting my new expiry date
b) emailing me before or after the charge
c) sending me any sort of download for whatever product I paid for.

Not only bad business, but fraud, in my opinion.

MY NORTON BILLING INFORMATION

I specifically opted for No Automatic removal last December 2019, yet Norton renewed my subscription without my consent.

Tried to contact them but in vain.

For an IT company like Norton and Symantec they have made contacting them online or through "CHAT" next to impossible. You simply get the run-around

August 24th 2009 Discover recieved a charge for 46.98 from Symantec for Norton anti virus update. Since then I have recieved flags on my computer saying that my service has expired. I have tried in vain to get a response. I finally put on a 30 day trial and two days later was reminded that it would be expiring. my # is [protected],
according to Discover card. Either you should secure my service or refund my credit card payment.

I ordered on line Norton Internet Security 2009 - Renewal and extended Download Service. Total $68.98 on Dec. 19th, 2008 and used my Visa to pay for it. I was downloading it - I don't know if I did it right, but --- I keep getting E-mails that in 22 days it expires. I made a copy of the E-mail with product Key - Serial number etc, as proof that my Visa was charged with this. Please check and see why the E-mails and is it downloaded?

I did not authorize Symantec to charge my credit card $39.99. I have NOT used Norton Antivirus in two or more years, so I am not happy with the charge on my account. Please credit me the amount charged to my credit card. What gives a company the right to automatically charge someone's credit card without contacting the person to validate or authorize the charge? That is completely unethical and illegal.

I have a charge of 62.14$ on my credit card for "Norton Annual Renewal" that I have not authorized. I have not been using this product for some time now. When I call the number on my statement, I get a nifty message telling me how important it is to keep the product, then when put on hold, they play the most annoying music to dicourage you from holding the line. There is no way of reaching them. How do I go about getting a refund and avoiding such a scam in the future?
And I thought that nortaon would be a trustworthy company!

I was charged twice $ 99.99 by Symantec for removing a virus from my pc and charged $ 139.99 for removing a virus and for an annual renewal fee which I didnot agree to. I called Symantec and talked to a customer service rep and he agreed that Symantec did owe me the money. I asked them to send a fax to release my funds but was informed that this company does not fax.

we received a charge of $194.84 for a Norton Annual Renewal charge. This charge has been done by an employee on their corporate card, but the employee has been terminated for over 9 months and we don't have Norton on any of our computers. We have cancelled the card but the bank tells us that because it is an annual charge, we need to call you guys to stop it. I have been trying to call you but I have have been on hold for 3 hours and 8 minutes and still have not talked to anyone.

Will someone please contact me to discuss these charges or please send me a contact number that has people actually taking calls on.

Thanks much!

I previously (2007) purchased Norton Anti-virus CD and installed on personal computer. Was not on automatic renewal program. I purchased a new Dell Inspiron* 531 S
PC late 2007 and purchased Norton Internet Security 2008 and installed from CD on new PC. My VISA statement shows a $52.74 charge on 03/17/08 . If that is for Norton 2005, I don't have that program any longer, nor do I have the PC I installed it on. I believe my Norton 2008 Internet Security Suite will not possibly expire or need renewal until late in 2008.(One year from my download and installation of norton 2008 in late 2007.)

I was not told the chg for anti virus was 66.98. After reading all the complaints I have decided to inform the appropriate state dept. for an investigation into false charges to credit card accts. for this service. I ws told my antivirus was to be haft the cost of the above charge. I have also notified my creit card of this chg and am now filing a hold so an investigation can also be done by the credit card company as well as our state communications department. I also reccomend all others to follow this path if you feel you have been scamed.

Norton product does not install properly

This is what I wrote in response to their "customer satisfaction" survey:

Oh yeah, I can tell you what DIDN'T work for me...

I purchased Norton Internet Security 2008 from you on June 18th. My order number is *************. When I click the "download your product" button, the product downloads and then installs the previous trial version I had on my computer. I have completed this process about seven times so far. It downloads, installs, and then "Your trial period has expired" is displayed on the old Norton program interface. And I cannot find any evidence of the new 2008 Norton Security program anywhere on my computer.

I have uninstalled the old trial version a hundred times, but as soon as the new 2008 version is finished installing, the only program available is the old, expired one! I have tried every avenue of troubleshooting. Your "help & support" link advised me to download Symantec Licensing Troubleshooter, which I did, and double-click on the SymLMTS file, which I did, and then follow the on-screen instructions, which I did. The instructions instructed me to put in a 25-character product key into those five fields. Well, in case you haven't noticed, the Norton 2008 program only comes with a 19-character product key. So that doesn't work.

I have tried calling you people, emailing, using the help & support chat service, everything to get this goddamn program up and running. But every single freakin' link DOES NOT WORK! Not even the survey link you sent me in this original email! That doesn't even work! So then I tried to get into my Norton Account (which I created when I first purchased the product) but the system claimed to not recognize my password. Now, I KNOW THE PASSWORD I CHOSE FOR MY NORTON ACCOUNT BECAUSE I WROTE IT DOWN AND I AM A RESPONSIBLE, ORGANIZED PERSON, WHICH IS A LOT MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR YOU PEOPLE. But, nevertheless, your idiotic system didn't recognize my password, so I clicked on the "forgot your password" link and the system promised to email me a new, temporary password, WHICH IT DIDN'T. I tried to create a new password about ten times, but my Norton Account never sent a new password to my email account. So that doesn't work, either.

And then I got to thinking... If you incompetent, lazy, irresponsible, sloppy ###s can't get your website and its links in working order, then what does that say about your products? Why should I believe that the product I purchased for fifty bucks is anything more than a poorly written, malfunctioning, clumsy, half-baked program that does nothing more than confuse and bugger up my delicate computer. I hate you people.

So, naturally and obviously, I am demanding a full refund of the Norton Internet Security 2008 "Subscription". I demand and expect my VISA to be refunded as soon as you have finished reading this email. Again, my order number is *************.

It's been a goddamn nightmare dealing with your company and it's software.

Sincerely,
Angry Consumer.

Having experienced the nightmare of NIS2005's even worse release of Symantec's so called AV, I vowed to 'never again use Norton products' (having more problems than it ever prevented, constantly needing NIS re-installs, causing I think more issues w/in the OS than it ever could have prevented, no support, etc., etc., etc.), it was only after trying other products and finding them failing in about the same respects, one of which was eEye's "Blink" that let me down (by allowing a USB stick's 'bar_311' trojan-virus onto my machine, which the nightmare continued when against my better judgement used the again hellish TrendMicro mand their online scanner to supposedly clean the machine and the USB stick (which it didn't and moreover it resulted in enabling the virus's trademark 'boot on & immediately right back off' routine, so that proved TM' sucked as well. Of course TM' refused to back up their online scanner's failure as they refused to even write back and they demand as most, a ccard before even speaking w/support. Thus after weeks of pulling my hair out, ie; countless hours of ueslessly seeking help, I figured out (on my own) how to go to the BIOS and disable boot from disk and then was able to do a complete system recovery. Again, no help from anyone (CNet forum and many other forums as well). So after the system format and re-install, I was still left with the infected USB stick and Norton's online scanner actually cleaned the stick. It was then I made the mistake of buying into the supposed claims that NIS had fixed their quirky software after 2005 and so I installed their NIS 2008. Aside from that I can't say anything good about Symantec's product. It slows down the machine to a crawl, interferes with iexplorer and video editing software mostly from what I can surmise by NIS's "pulse" updating aspect which can't be disabled (supposedly only the suto updates can be disabled, but once you miss either of the usually twice daily auto updates, the result seems the machine is plagued by not only incessant NIS warning popups on need to update, but it seems too that also the pulse update's are the cause of crashing my videop editor. Biggest annoyance w/NIS 2008 is the fact that in order to disable it, you must do so for each individual feature of the damned application (AV, firewall, EMail scanning, on and on and on, and if you use a password for NIS controls, well you know, just more needless exacerbation). NIS/Symantec, you product makes me want to puke. All I can say is just keep nothing on the OS that you don't care if anyone sees it, don't use your primary machine with a ccard, format & reinstall w/o any so called patches (that are bypassed as soon as their issued anyway) and just run your primary machine 'bare foot' and you'll be a lot ****ing more happier. Period.

Norton unauthorized charge

I recieved my credit card statement and found a charge for 66.98 on May 8, 2008. I called the credit card company and they said they thought it was for computer software and I should contact the company. The company does not have a telephone number listed on the charge nor can I find one online. The only identification for this company is the website listed on the charge and I can't find a number.

Thank you.

My husband and I have different computers, so I don't want to complain until I understand which has been charged for. I have had trouble with Symantec on my computer and canceled, but my husband has since bought a new notebook and has had no problems. However, the dates of (Symantec) purchase do not match either of our computers. I am wondering which account is being charged.

Norton unrecognized renewal

This is a form of piracy or rico.I have paid twice for a byears subscription and it will not download into a new lap top. Along with pop ups that will not go away or keep coming to say i need to renew.I called the MOUNTAIN VIEW office [protected] in late sept 2009 to get put on hold for a india rep who after transferring three times in a 30 minute call says he will make a complaint # and fix the problem.NOT EVEN ONE courtesy call back in three months.I have emailed twice. This last return email, after i contacted the media room, says DO NOT REPLY this is outgoing only.The last email I sent told you there is a FBI website to report internet fraud I can find out just how many others are having this same problem.Why schould people wait a half of an hour for customer service and then still there is NO RESOLVE.This is just like BERNIE Madoff who says now why did it take so long for people to wake up.Order # [protected].You even changed my password twice and the acct takes the old password not the one you emailed me (GREAT SCAM)? I used you for years.Whats the deal start up with a ligit
website then see you can make more from scamming people?I will send registered to you CEO MY PHONE RECORDS ON JUST HOW LONG I HAVE been on hold.Look up internet fraud and see the address for the fbi to post a complaint.TODAY is nov 1 2009 you have my phone number email fix this by Wed nov 4 2009 or I will do that.

When renewing my Norton antivirus software on 12 April 2016, I unknowingly and mistakenly ordered a second licence
20 May 2016 when I received my credit card statement, I emailed "orders@mail.norton.com" with a copy of my statement and asked to have the second subscription cancelled explaining the situation - no reply!
11 June 2016 I again emailed orders@mail etc asking how to cancel the second subscription - no reply
24 June 2106 I again emailed and no reply
I then emailed Symentec in Singapore - no reply

I have been working with 5-7 different Symantec "customer service" people to help get NAV uninstalled and reinstalled. In the past I could do this myself - but not anymore. I finally go to two different Level 2 Engineers. Using "gotoassist" I gave them access to my computer. The first engineer was almost done with his "test" when my computer decided to reboot and I lost him. The one yesterday, Nanda, did a bunch of work and then logged off.

Now my computer takes 7 minutes to load my few desk icons (this usually takes 10 seconds0, and it takes 2 minutes to open the recycle bin and another 2 for delete to execute. The call in number is useless, they only tell me why they cannot help me. The chat line is better but it usually takes 25 minutes on hold to talk to anyone and even if you give them all your case numbers, they want to start all over.

I cannot find a number for Symantec or Norton Corporate Customer Service and now I do not have NAV on my system and it runs slower than a turtle.

Norton will sell you a product that does not work. Then they give you the run around for almost two hours and want you to give them more money to clean your p.c... That is why you purchased the product to begin with, so you dont have to worry about your p.c... Then the ### will give you a web site and a connection code that does not exsist. I am tired of companies stealing from the consumer and I am not about to let this rest. I have and will contact all proper autharoites over this matter. People stop being ripped off! I am tired of being robbed from multi million dollar companies and its time we all woke up to this. Have a great fnnn day!

It is seemingly impossible to get through directly to symantec / norton to complain. I attempted to download first one program, order # [protected] 2 for $69. 99 on 8 / 21 / 08 and then when that wouldn't download, order #[protected] for 114. 99 also on 8 / 21 / 08. As i couldn't download these, i switched to mcafee and successfully downloaded their anti - virus program. Subsequently, i could find no way to get through to norton when they suddenly emailed me saying that they were charging me for the above programs as if they had been successfully downloaded. My attempts were repulsed with a rejection of my e - mail address. I had to consequently wait until i received my mastercard notice, which is supposed to have a vendor's phone number on it. Instead, i ago the email address not of symantec, but of some universal sort of complaint service. I need for these charges to be taken off my bill. I double paid for the last symantec i ordered on 8 / 2 / 06, order #[protected] (Symantec notified me on 2 / 8 / 08 that i had not yet downloaded it though i had tried hard at the time and eventually bought a two - year subscription, but in spite of the fact that i had in the meantime (Really almost simultaneously) bought a two - year protection, they made no effort to refund the money. (I am not asking a refund on the 06 order, just including it in the facts to show that norton / semantic do not seem to know what they are doing.) i don't intend to pay them money again for services i do not receive, for programs i cannot download at the time i order them. I would appreciate anything you can do for me in this case.
Thanks,
Ctr

Symantec Customer UNservice! Symantec double charged my account when I ordered an on-line download. Because of this, my mortgage check bounced. It took them over 3 days to respond and refund the money! Not only do they not provide customer service for complaints, they want to charge you $9.95 to talk to someone when there is an issue with THEIR product!? The 1-800 staff they have is absolutely incapable of understanding issues. Further more, the last 2 times I have spoken to someone about them paying my late fees, their computers 'suddenly' go down. You're telling me a company that makes their money off of making other people's computers safe doesn't have access to their own computer system? I have been trying to get this resolved for 3 weeks, and they will not respond. Now I have late fees and bounced check fees from all angles because Symantec made a mistake, and they will not resolve it.

I think, as a consumer, your more safe WITHOUT the Norton Pro-Virus programs.

Symantec Norton Antivirus company charged me $39.99 without my authorization. In fact, when they sent to me e-mail for possible auto-update, I told them NOT to do it, and I have an e-mail to prove it. http://www.clubsymantec.com here is a prove..
