Norton
reviews and complaints

i was charged $15.81 on 8/2/2020 and i dont own any norton product. please refund me the $15.81 asap.

I bought this from Norton Online a few days ago for £29.99. It wouldn't install so I contacted them and received a full refund with 5 days.
I thought this was the end of the matter, but on 20 July 2020, I checked my bank statement and was shocked to see two further payments with Ref 360 plus on both. One payment was for £90.00, the other was for £85. I did not order these so I got no order number or activation key. Can anyone help me resolve this. Norton have no email address (?) but any reply's I've had are no reply addresses.

Many thanks,

I purchased Norton 360 with Life Lock select for two people and paid $212.98. Purchase Order NP1316023754, and have been trying to get, my money refunded since I don't like the program and have removed it from my computer. All I get is the run around when trying to get through to Norton. I talked to a Chat person but was referred to a different section. Norton does not support customers like they say just so much talk. I will never do business with them again.

Today, I was unable to login to norton 360. I contacted online chat and subsequently an engineer called me. After nearly an hour the engineer pointed out a task view page and the large number of stopped services listed.
He then said that if I puchased a two year suscription etc in the sum of $250 dollars he would be able to clear the stopped files and restore the service. I was unhappy with this and said I would seek further advice. He offered to reduce this to $200, I politely declined at which point he disconnected team viewer. I subsequently contacted BT tech help, included in my package. After a few minutes, he temporarily disable Malwarebytes, voila I was able to log in. As to the matter of task viewer many features are stopped and started by windows as a matter of course. I am extremely disappointed at your conduct, I had regarded Norton as trusted brand, no longer, Andrew Evans

I have just picked up a history of debits from my account to you for Norton Anti Virus dating back to 2014 (it may go further but my on-line banking only has this much data available). The amount starts at £64.99 and goes up to £89.99 this year. I do not recall purchasing the "Premium" Norton package that costs this much - why would I want to protect 10 devices when I only own one laptop!

I wish to claim for a refund - I have not, as far as I am aware been using the Norton system in recent years and certainly never signed up to a premium account.

Many thanks,

Andrew

I had clearly marked "OFF" for the annual renewal option of my subscription to Norton Security Premium.

Despite that my credit card was charged $144.99 on the 13th March 2020.

I have been trying to request a refund since 13th March 2020.
It is impossible to contact Norton by email, chat, their help portal or customer support.
The refund has to be requested within 30 days of the invoice.

There is generic message that the staff numbers are down due to the Corona Virus lockdown, which is false as the corona lockdown was not in force until 20th March 2020.
If any one can help it would be appreciated. Thank you.

For the past week I have been receiving pop ups saying that I must renew my account immediatly! When I have looked on my account I have seen that I am covered for 3 devices until 1st may 2020. I saw that the cost of renewal was $89.99 for these 3 devices (even though I have 1 device).

I went on my account yesterday (08/04/2020) and updated my card details and then found you have taken $189 dollars from my account! Imagaine my shock and horror to find that I am now left $100 short for the fortnight, my food money in your pocket without my consent.

I demand that you refund this amount immediately or I will be making contact with the ombudsman and you will be fined for swindling money from my account.

I have one device, I have previously purchased cover for 3 devices, you will note on my account I have been buying norton products for many years, always buying to cover 3 devices. Why did you think I wanted to suddenly cover 5 devices. I have been using norton sincre 2009, each year purchasing 3 licences.

Fix the problem

Hi,
I am asking if you would be kind enough to clarify and confirm some of my concerns I have with the Norton anti virus currently installed on my laptop.

Recently I was a victim of a scam concerning a company called IBX Web Solutions. I am sure you have heard of this but basically you receive a call claiming to be from Amazon and asking if you are aware of a Mr Thompson trying to buy a smartphone with your details. IBX then ask you to do some commands on your PC which then enables them to take control of your laptop remotely. Prior to this I was using AVG virus protection and had no problem. IBX then claimed my AVG was not compatible with windows 10 which is a lie. They then installed Norton antivirus. I don't know what version and maybe you can tell me. When I click on the Norton icon on my desktop it says the following:-

Version 22.20.1.69

Serial No. GJKVGGDBMHYM

Endpoint ID F7E790CA-4F67-42C7-B2B4-14DB00295825

I was very fortunate that the money I paid to IBX web solutions was refunded in full. My main concern now is that I have your antivirus installed and I haven't paid for it. What happens now?

My paid version of AVG expires in June this year and I am looking at getting a new antivirus and was looking at the Norton 360 but haven't decided yet. There is one annoying aspect with the Norton antivirus I have installed and that is when I go on to a well known website, BBC for example I get a warning saying 'you attempted to access https://go.bonefreeze.com/style.css'. Then when I try again it's OK. So annoying as I never had the problem with AVG. Perhaps you can tell me why this is happening and if it can be resolved.

Thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Leonard

I complained over the phone about this time last year about being automatically charged £70 for Norton when it was available for £25 in the shops. I wanted a partial refund and asked for my renewal to be cancelled.

I was expecting a call back but never got one!

Now I have been charged £70 again!

I'm furious.

I let norton 369 coverage expire because I wanted to compare their coverage and fees against other internet companies providing the same service. I contacted norton on several accasions about not being able to access a suitable helpline, but norton shoved me left, right and centre to avoid answering my queries! I had been with norton for the last 5-6 years, and although I was satisfied in the main about their overall services, I was just comnparing services but was ignored and/or sidelined by sophisticated means! Not good enough norton!

Last year it came to my notice that although Norton were taking a recurrent payment from my credit card, I was no longer receiving notifications or updates and hadn't done so for several years.

This year on 08/01/2020 I phoned Norton and inquired as to the status of my account.
I was totally mystified when MaryLin told me there was no trace of me or my email address. She then transferred me to Roshan to deal with the problem. He assured me he would investigate and no further payment would be taken from my credit card.
I also advised me credit card provider, M and S Bank, that no further payments should be taken.
However, the following week Norton took £69.99 from my credit card.

My son also previously used to protect his computer and email address with Norton but chose not to renew his account and let it expire in 2016.
He also acquired a new email account and his yahoo email became defunct although he checks it occasionally.
When I told my son about the problems I have with Norton, he checked his defunct email address and was amazed to find Norton had renewed his expired account and defunct email BUT had charged me. NEITHER MY SON OR I HAVE EVER ASKED FOR OR SANCTIONED THIS ARRANGEMENT.

I contacted Norton on the live chat line, firstly talking to Aasim and then Mohammed having been cut off initially.
I gave Mohammed the order number AP1301250735 which was on the email sent to my son's defunct email address and Mohammed confirmed I was being charged to protect the defunct account which my son did not renew in 2016.

In summary I believe Norton should repay MasterCard/ M and S Bank £69.99 taken on 12/01/2020.

I also believe I should be repaid £64.99 taken on 18/01/2019 (AP258032856 and £59.99 taken on 18/01/2018 (AP251857744)

Clearly my trust and confidence in Norton is completely shattered and I want this matter resolved . After that I want no further contact or business dealings with Norton.

Dear Norton,

I am emailing about the security on my iPhone device that was actually not secure.

Due to hacking problems on my iPhone whilst in Hong Kong, I purchased a new iPhone and made sure it had security and saw your reviythst you were a good company.

I purchased an annual Norton protection which was effective but only for a few months after which I noticed anything I did on my iPhone could be seen by the public. The advisor was not very helpful when I made a complaint about it a few months ago. I am now back in the UK and again the Norton security I paid for is not effective.

I have not downloaded any apps on my new iPhone and have only used broadband in Hong Kong from HKT and Sky from UK. I still had problems with the device even when not on internet.

I would like to know why this is since I have paid for this service? I would also, like it resolved so that my device is private and not subject to evesdropping etc. Or would like my money back since I am not receiving the proper service.

Please could this be looked into and resolved.

Kind Regards

Hello,
I was having trouble installing my Norton service on my computer 1/17/2020 PM so I called the helpline number that came up on the screen.

The representative I spoke with (from India) was very condescending and disrespectful so much so that I am considering terminating my newly activated subscription with Norton. This man has NO idea how to speak to a customer and definitely has NO business being employed as a customer service representative for any company!

I have been a customer of Norton for 9 years. Last year I had a problem with my computer and was trying to get a download of my Norton product and inadvertently purchased a second subscription. I only became aware of the problem this year when I received a renewal for two subscriptions. One subscription covers 10 devices so the three devices that I have would not have needed 2 subscriptions. I explained this to Norton and they said too bad you should not have ordered 2 subscriptions . Instead of refunding me for the old subscription I did not need and the 2nd unneeded renewal subscription They kept telling me the same horse crap that their hands were tied . When I asked for the issue to be escalated The customer service rep. said He was the end of the line for customer support. I did not write down his name but I am pretty sure he was not the CEO of Norton!LOL!
I did cancel my service for both subscriptions and made them issue a refund. A total shame on Norton that for 9 years their product was a good product only to be ruined by some incredibly piss poor customer service from India! The total shame of it is how short sighted that is. Now I am not using them and I highly recommend No one else does either. I am also checking to see if any of my 401k money is being invested in Norton or Lifelock! Will be changing that if it is the case. Shame on you short sighted Norton customer service . No more money from me! I want to make sure you are able to contact me . I see how the responses are "could not contact the customer so this complaint is annulled" My contact is Jim [protected]@live.com or [protected]

I was running Windows 7 on a HP Pavillion G6. I've always liked Windows 7 and was in no hurry to fix what wasn't broken. I was hwoever running into memory issues plus a nom support issue in the near future by Microsoft so I had to have a strategy going forward. First increase my operating memory which I did and everything was fine, then to make sure my system was protecteded if I still had Win 7 at the end of January 2020. (I'm on Holidays for the month of January) My plans were to assess and decide on equipment and software or both now or later if need be. I decided to download the Norton 360 product and buy a little time if I needed it. When I loaded the software I rebooted my system because its normal to do that. My system would not restart, not even in safe mode. All my files on that Windows 7 hard drive are no longer available. I pulled out the drive and installed a new SSD drive loaded Windows 10 and Norton 360. System runs fine but without my stuff. My thoughts were without a computer I was dead in the water. I contacted Norton to recover my files and their response was it's a Microsoft issue. Needless to say I'm not pleased with Norton. I believe the original download caused the problem and there response was please just go away.

I use Visa credit card given by Kodak Mahindra Bank. Today(08-Dec-2019) I have received a SMS and mail from Kodak Mahindra credit card section stating that "sum of amount(****)has been debited from you credit card account by NORTON *SOFTWARE" on which i never had an account or associated with. This is the first time something like this has taken place. Please, Help me on this.

I purchased Norton 360 Deluxe on 11/22/19, order number NP1296416078. According to product specs published on Norton's web site (see attached
images), "Norton 360 Deluxe offers protection for up to 5 PCs, Macs, smartphones or tablets." However, installing the product's features on a
smartphone requires two apps, Mobile Security and Norton VPN, and each of those apps consumes a separate license. The product includes 5
licenses, and two smartphones consume 4 of those licenses. That leaves only 1 license for a 3rd device. So the specs effectively constitute false
advertising, since the promised capability is not actually available in the product. A customer whose family has 5 smartphones would therefore
require 10 licenses to support those 5 devices, but is only given 5 licenses. Hopefully, Norton will award supplemental licenses to all customers with
devices requiring more that one license apiece.

I have spent 4+ hours with Chat people including L-2 without being able to get my Password Mgr to work. I was promised a call last nite at 9 pm. Didn't happen until I went thru chat again. Last nite L-2 promised to call me tonite at 8:30pm. Never called. Chat wait time 30 minutes. I give up.
I should be compensated for my time with support people that ask me to be at my phone, spend hours, & they twice "no show".
I wish I could cancel Norton- but I don't want to spend more hours figuring out how to disentangle.

When I renewed my subscription in August 2019, I added "Identity theft protection" and VPN services. The information in the Norton home screen didn't match My Norton I was able to activate the VPN, but was not able to activate the Identity theft protection. Numerous calls were made to Customer Services without success. The most recent attempt, which was made on November 13, 2019. After spending two hours and talking to service reps from various locations, all of which required my personal information, the problem was not resolved and I asked to be transferred "on shore". The rep refused transfer my call and the problem has now become worse. I've dealt with many customer service people in my time, but none have been as incompetent as those working for Norton. Unless my problems is resolved in a timely and acceptable manner I will discourage everyone from considering Norton Security.

I just subscribe to Norton 360 today and I requested that I am requesting to be addressed in which I chooses to be address and my name be input into the data base yet it's wasn't done as I requested therefore I realized that this Company isn't following any customer legal rights at all I see that all they want is my money and they disregard my name which is Mrs.Diane T Collins-McLean therefore I also did called several times today and I was hang up and played games with by customer service representatives who has no real education or anything concerns my rights at all so I am requesting that after my month is up I no longer choose to be any member because of the strong disrespectful behavior and attitude of my legal rights please remove my card from your account December 7 2019 card number ending in 9099 thank you !
