Reviews and Complaints

Norton had sent me an e mail ref renewing my subscription this i have done thinking i would only pay the normal cost of about £34.00 i have now found out that they have charged me £64.99 without informing me how does one contact this company to get a refund of a least half. when i spoke to someone from this company i was directed to a call centre in india this was a total disaster as the person i spoke to couldnt put two words in english together totally dissatisfied with Norton please help [protected]@tiscali.co.uk for reply HELP

My name is Steve I was refered to Norton law Group by a friend and Norton law didnt Do Anything to Help Me Keep My House they just kept taking money from me and never did anything and they are still trying to take more money.They Took 5800 from me and I told them that I want my money back because they werent doing anything and they only offered me 1400 back. The person who refered me lost 4000 from Norton Law and they didnt do anything for her
All I want is my money back from them and they refuse to give me it back
There the reason im losing my house they never helped me at all except to give me the run around
Also when i called the bank the bank never even heard of them
Norton law group doesnt care about the people all they want is there money
I hope this message that i WROTE speaks a message to everyone not to go to Norton Law Group

I upgraded one of my computers to Norton 360 V4 to evaluate the performance against the older version, 360 V3. The issue I have now with V4 is the amount of spam I receive. V3 running on the other computers has a fraction of the spam and I mean 1 spam email compared to 10 or 12 spam emails with V4. I contacted Norton support. What a joke. I have had a number of emails (+8) or so saying they will contact me. No one has contacted me. I have been on Norton Support live chat when the person you were chatting with just ups and leaves the room. The reference numbers I have been provided have been noted as resolved and yet the problem still has not been addressed.

I have looked at as many Symantec web sites as I could find and conclude Symantec has no avenue to receive formal complaints from its consumers. This is disappointing considering the size of the organisation as how do you provide a quality service when you don't have any feedback or measuring tool from your consumers on an on going basis. I did receive a Symantec customer survey and was accurate in marking a very low score for customer service.

What next? I am reviewing the product as it comes up for renewal in the next couple of weeks. It looks like no services look else where. If any company out there believes they have a better product with back up customer service, please let me know. I would be interested.

Norton Antivirus 2010 is a virus in itself and the company refuses to admit it. Before receiving the Norton Antivirus 2010 my computer was working fine and since the attempt to install the program, my computer has refused to come back on after the install needed to shut-down to restart, All this was being done robotically by a "so called technician". The company ruined my life. I know that's harsh but its true. I can not retrieve my work that was stored on my tower, I can not turn my computer on any longer. The program is a sham a waste of money and I cant believe Norton would be so unhelpful to my problem that THEY caused. I am going to try to start a case against the technician Uday Raj and the other tech. I hope it goes well. I am disappointed in the Norton's Software Company treatment of my computer and of me. You know was said as an excuse to me "it was a coincidence" What kind of inpropriate behavior is this.
Norton Antivirus 2010 is a Virus.

thanks,
A hard working disappointed student

I requested via internet an upgarde of our norton virus protection chose a 2 year plus and was charged to my visa $124.94 - this was correct
I have recently been charged another fee for a years cover of norton virus.
This has occured perhaps because - I received a note saying something about same computer but different identification?

Can you look into this for me please. As I appear to have a double up of coverage.

Thank you

I got an email telling me that my service with Norton was about to expire...then there was a charge on my account...what is going on here? I did not authorize any charges or renewal before all this happened. Is my service up to date...has it been upgraded fort the 2010 edition? I have not received any notice from Norton that this is the case. Please respond. I am sending below the original order for service in 2008 for you to see so that this can be cleared up.
Thank You,
Marguerite Johnson

Original Message Follows: ------------------------
To whom it may concern,

I see where Norton has charged my account for the year 2010 (for the second time...without my authorization ). Since I have paid for this, when will it be downloaded/upgraded to be reflected in my service? I would also like a copy of the disk sent to me.

Please take me off your automatic system for this product for the future.

They are fake and make stuff up like they are trying to help you but in deed they are stealing your money and not doing anything. You call your bank and your bank has no info that the norton law group has called. They do not do anything that they promise. Please do not use them. We were so desperate because we could not pay our mortgage in the interm we turned to them and they ruined our credit and caused us to go into foreclosure i'm about 30 days away from losing my home. They really keep you going and say that the bank requested more info but when I called my bank they never requested any info. They had us fooled

I was trying to download the Norton anti-viris program on my computer and it didn't load. Also, the comment on the screen said it didn't load. I was still charged the $59.99 on my debit card. I would appreciate a refund put back on my card. I would like to have an e-mail or phone call litting me know when I can expect the refund. My e-mail address is [protected]@suddenlink.net and my phone # is [protected].

Thank you,

Jack D. Hammer

I just saw on our bank statement that you deducted 69.99 US Dollar for a Norton Anual Renewal. I want to cancel my annual subscibtion as I no longer have a regular pc, which makes the use of Norton unneccesary.
The Credit card it was deducted from was a Visa card number 4003 [protected] . The name on the card is Gaukhar Balykbayeva, 9B Stapaev str, flat 39, Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Please take notice and cancel our subscibtion.
Please send me a confirmation that the subscibtion is cancelled and return the money I paid too much to the above mentioned credit card number at Kazkom Bank, Almaty, Kazakhstan
Hopefully this problem will be solved now,
Sincerely,
Gaukhar Balykbayeva

After purchasing norton anti virus protection on line, i noticed on my credit card the amt. of $49.99. i did not order thisfrom symantec. i have paid my credit card what is my alternative?

My bank account was debited not just once but three times on the same day by norton.com for $145.32 each time totaling $435.96. I have never ordered anything from norton.com and have no idea how they got my debit card number. I filed a fraud charge through my bank and was told it would be 7 to 10 business days before my account was credited. If the fraudulent charges had been $500 or more it would have required a police report.

Norton has charged my credit card for an annual fee for the past two years. The problem is, I purchased this product once, 8 years ago. Last year, out of the blue, they started charging me an annual fee even though I haven't used the product in years because my computer tech said it is absolute crap. I think they are just digging up any old credit card # they can find and charging it. You can't reach them through their phone #, they just keep you on hold. I reported them to my credit card fraud department and I also had to change my credit card #. It was the only way to get them to stop. What a scam and a fraud.

I continue to receive notices from Norton that my account is being cancelled. The problem arises from my purchase two months ago of a new computer. With the purchase I received a trial 60-day (?) service of a Norton package. However, I had already purchased a Norton anti-viral package August 20, 2009 on my old computer. Please transfer 6 mos continuing service to me for new computer, so I will not lose Norton service!

I cancelled my subscription with Norton a long time ago, and on Dec 28th 2009, they just deduced $69.00 off my Credit Card. I am very upset about this. Please can you undertake to get this money refunded to me. the only information I have is this number [protected].

I live in Singapore. My email address is [protected]@gmail.com

I would appreciate your help in this.

Kind regards,

I recently found a charge for "Norton Annual Renewal" on my Visa statement. The phone number [protected] is, I believe, a scam and will put you on hold indefinitely. I stayed on the line for over 30 minutes to see.

I called Symantec who makes this product and they verified that they have NOT made any charges to my account. My subscription was due to expire in Feb, 2010 so I should not (and was not according to Symantec) charged by them.

So WATCHOUT for fraud charges claiming to be "Norton Annual Renewal". I turned off the automatic renewal with Symantec just to add another level of security in case another one of these charges appears.

I was able to get this charge reversed by my bank.

Hello,

My bank account shows an unauthorsied 'annual renewal' charge of £39.99.

I buy Norton internet securtiy from PC world each year so do not understand why an automatic charge has come out of my account.

I would ask for a refund on this occasion and cancel any renewal policy you seem to have me down for.

Can you please respond to fiona.[protected]@pb.com
