If you are a reseler, like me, who had sold close to 50 installations this year, imagine the nightmare.

Buy another product, stay away from Norton 2009 and 2010.

This is their claim:

I’m giving all Norton 2009 and 2010 antivirus products a 1-star because of their “software-as-rental” policies.

Wrong.

The software stops working and disables itself, unless you pay the yearly renewal fees, which are much higher than so-called “buying” the next year’s version.

Imagine if Windows stopped working, unless you kept paying yearly fees to Microsoft, forever.
