Since when does "subscription is up" mean "program no longer works"? What a crock! For every anti-virus I've ever had, "subscription is up" means exactly that: you can't download updates or virus definitions. Norton, however, believes it is acceptable to actually *disable* the whole program. Well, good riddance to you. Any thoughts I might have entertained as to giving Norton another chance have vanished. Really, Norton, that level of pettiness is simply disgusting--for the sake of a few days of subscription, you lose a customer.
(Yeah, yeah, I know--use the removal tool, and stay safe and surf well. Good bye.)
