No interent = no security!

Loss of broadband connection due to ISP network fault (BT landline out of action for up to 5 days :( ) resulted in system losing its date and time (reset to some earlier time in 2013, probably around the time the laptop was built - OS is Windows 8).  Norton Security then determines that your subscription has expired and your security support is no more!   Since you are still at risk from files imported via, say, USB sticks etc this is simply not good enough!

Manually correcting the time and date does not restore your Norton Security product to working order, at least, not while internet access is still unavailable.

I rate this as a serious flaw in Norton Security.  What do others think?
