Today I noticed that my Norton Subscription was 18 days from renewing, so I decided to rummage through my unimportant email to find if Norton had sent an updated price for this year, since I had set my account up on mannual renew. I had another reason for this - I don't always use the same bank card. When I found the e-mail from Symantec, I noticed that it said "Norton Subscription Automatic Renewal Notification." Whoa - wait a minute - I specifically set my account to manual renew, because I knew companies automatically default to "automatic renewal" during the order process; and to top it off they were going to charge a card that I now kept a very low balance on - in two days! (My fault for not checking my email sooner, it was sent 15 days before the charge date.) The charge date is 15 days before the expiration of my subscription. I logged in to my account and changed it back to mannual; then called Norton, who changed my account back to manual also and stopped the transaction. If you still have use Norton Anti-virus with mannual renewal, it might behoove you to check your account, just in case it resets. (For those wishing to comment on keeping such a small balance on a card, it was a school account from which I am no longer attending.)
