Norton 360

[bgunner01]

I have (perhaps I should say "had") 3 licenses for Norton 360 for two years and had N360 V4 operating just fine.  When I received a Norton popup for FREE upgrade (it turned out to be only a 30-day trial version although the popup didn't state that) to V5 I thought I'd take advantage - but that was a big mistake!  It downloaded okay but I suddenly got a message stating my product key was fraudulaent and my subscription was immediately revoked on all three of my computers!!   Now I have a "30-day Trial Version of V5" that I could care less about at this point and more than year's worth of subscription to V4 that I've lost access to.   I've had no success with on-line customer support thus far.  I have a PayPay receipt from the company I purchased it from that includes the serial number and product key that worked just fine 9 months ago - but now it's fraudlaent!?!

My frustration with this product and this company's customer service is HUGE at this time.  Any suggestions on how to rectify my problem?

Hello bgunner01

Did you purchase it from a site like eBay? We have had many users coming to the Forum who bought their Norton products on sites like eBay and then get burned some time later when the key does turn out to be already in use or doesn't give the total time left cause it had been used by someone else.
