minardi Sep 2022 10:23am, 26 Sep 2022 8,371 posts	0 minardi Just had an email from Norton wanting to do an automatic renewal at £124.99!!!!!!!!! Went into our account and found that it was £119.99 to renew. I removed our credit card details so it wouldn't renew while I looked into it and I now have an offer for £44.99. Went on to live chat with an agent to try to get clarification and he basically said yes, you can pay £124.99 or £119.99 or £44.99 for the same thing. Definitely don't understand that one!

The auto renew figures are ridiculous, and prey on those who just aren’t paying attention. I personally just use the protection built in to Windows 10, but would definitely not pay more than £20 for a year’s subscription to a third party product. I buy Microsoft 365 from Argos when it is on offer, and it comes with a year’s worth of McAfee Total Security (which I then sell, as it is surplus to my own requirements and recoups some of my spend).
