Norton and McAfee Anti-virus Complaint
Mon 15 Jun 2009Filed Under: *Hayabusa BLOG, Anti-virus software, Computers | Comments Off on Norton and McAfee Anti-virus Complaint
My concerns have been justified on the large Anti-virus software companies. (See the last post!) Both Symantec aka Norton and McAfee are guilty of unauthorized charging of its users. A few years ago it was Norton who tried to stop users from uninstalling the software and now trying to secretly charge renewal fees. Symantec (Norton) and Mcafee fined over renewal process
I didn’t realize McAfee was trying to do the same thing but now that I do they have completely lost my trust as well. I was considering renewing but now a definite NO.
Added to that ever since the renewal notices started being emailed and ‘warning messages’ that my anti-virus subscription was due I reread the emails and found out that there is significant price difference to what they are going to charge me! One week it is about $129 then its $90.95, then its $96.85, then $83.95 and another one for $64.95 then get this. They want to charge $181.95 for 2 years! I’ve also been to the shops and they are discounted to $49 or even free with another purchase.
Hence never get anything automatically renewed since they charge you much more!
The conclusion? I do not trust either company’s anti-virus now – sack the CEO and boards for bringing these supposed security companies images down the drain and now acting like spam and insecurity organisations. I just do not know what they are going to try next to get money off me.
