            i went to norton lifelock chat page, and was told to sign in, go to manage my account to cancel and future subscriptions and charges. I attempted this three times and could not reach the proper page to cancel my account.

            DO NOT subscribe or buy this as the previous review/feedback I also thought I unsub the renewal, but they change the layout or "update" the website so much that it confuses the customer and then defaults it back to "subscribe". If you are navigating through the website the page is so confusing even like me who spends much time on computers and such. **************** in the web is non existent, it lets you open windows after another just to look for the chat window or who to contact, that too is giving you the run around.Also, we realized when we used the Norton, we had a lot of junk mail when we used it.

            Norton and Lifelock part of Gen Digital. ******** customer service. They charge a high fee for protection that they do not provide and everything is an extra add on. Do not use this company.

            Horrible company! I was automatically renewed and I thought I cancelled my subscription, but the cancellation process in multi stepped and very confusing, so it never went through. I called them and submitted proof of what I thought was proof of the cancellation and they refused to accept it. Now, because it's outside of the 30 day window for cancellation, they are keeping ALL of my money! They do not refund after 30 days AND they don't do partial refunds. My subscription renewed in December and they are forcing me to keep the subscription and refusing to refund any money at all. They are crooked and unethical. They make it extremely difficult to stop your subscription. I hope there is a class action suit against them! Based on the other comments here, I am not alone. Avast has been screwing a lot of people out of their money.

            UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES They are thieves! I have never used Avast or authorized them to bill my account, so I was very surprised to discover unauthorized Avast charges on my ****** account. ********************** confirmed the charges are related to the personal E-mail address of a former business partner, and that they sent notification of impending charges to her, rather than to me; the sole authorized account holder.While I can understand the mix-up, I cannot tolerate their poor handling of the matter. Avast has refused to reimburse me for one of the unauthorized charges because it is outside of their 30-day refund policy. However, my state provides a 3-year statute of limitations for financial harm, and my rights shall not be diminished by their own refund policy.

            I started out with free Avast software. It seemed to worked ok. So, I decided to try antivirus protection for my MacBook Pro. I started a subscription ($105.99) and downloaded the software. It basically incapacitated my laptop. I couldn't use Safari or any other browser I have, and I need internet access for work. It was so incredibly slow! I couldn't see dealing with that for any space of time, so I enacted a cancellation and uninstalled the software. I didn't think anything of it after the cancellation. I was pretty clear that their software was not working with our devices. Unbeknownst to me, two accounts were created when I started the subscription, so when I called, they only cancelled one of the two accounts and, on November 6, 2024, they charged the "other" account. Keep in mind I only had ONE subscription. **************** was terrible, obviously, and the woman I spoke to argued with me about having two accounts and that only one of the accounts was cancelled - and it was obviously the account that wasn't accruing any charges... Go figure! I wouldn't trust this business with a dollar!

            We removed auto renew. Have the email proving it. The charged us. Called, had them refund and cancel. Within ONE HOUR they CHARGED us AGAIN. Took forever to figure out how to manually remove and cancel everything even though they did it over the phone and I had the emails to prove it. I even called my bank to make sure they couldnt charge again. Add to that the service *****. It slowed the computer down pushed for upgrades. Trash.

            NortonLifeLock has been stealing from me each year because they are making it so hard to locate them to cancel a subscription service.

            I cancelled my subscription and ***** cancelled my subscription and auto renewal with Avast one day before the trial ended back in 2023 Sept 3rd. They still managed to bill me through ****** even though I had suspended the subscription. I was billed again 2024 Nov 13th for the exact same amount from River Digital (Avast premium), that's when I saw the charge from 2023 which I never authorized or gave consent.I would stay away from their trials, it's a scam.Also, Avast anti virus will cause internet protocol issues if you don't uninstall properly which wasted a lot of my time.
