Their subscriptions often include antivirus software, VPN for online privacy, and tools like parental controls or device optimization. You might see charges from Norton as these subscriptions automatically renew yearly or monthly unless you opt out. These subscriptions cover multiple devices and come with different storage options depending on the plan you choose.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Norton's Cancellation Policy?

    Norton allows you to cancel your membership anytime online or via Member Services & Support. Annual subscriptions have a 60-day money-back guarantee if requested within 60 days of purchase, while monthly subscriptions are eligible for a full refund if requested within 14 days. After cancellation, your subscription won't auto-renew but your protection continues for the paid term; refunds vary based on purchase method and specific conditions.

    Do I Need My Norton Password to Cancel?

    To cancel your Norton subscription, you do need your email and password to log in to your account at Norton.com. Once logged in, you can go to the "My Subscriptions" section to turn off automatic renewal and cancel your subscription. If you don't remember your password, you can reset it using the "Forgot Password" link on the Norton login page: https://my.norton.com/fp/forgotPassword. Additionally, you can contact Norton customer service at 1(844)-803-7083 or use their live chat for further assistance.

    Why Do People Cancel Norton?

    • Complicated cancellation process: Users find the steps to cancel Norton subscriptions difficult and cumbersome.
    • Lack of easy customer support: No easy way to reach a live customer service representative causes frustration.
    • Automatic renewal confusion: Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled well before the billing date, often up to 35 days prior.
    • Unexpected charges: Customers report being charged even after cancellation or being billed earlier than the renewal date.
    • High renewal prices: Renewal fees are often higher than the initial subscription cost and can change without notice.
    • Forced credit card details: Norton requires credit card info to renew, causing distrust and security concerns.
    • Early renewal: Subscription renewal charges occurring a month or more before the expiration date.
    • Refund difficulties: Challenges in obtaining refunds despite cancellation and billing issues.
    • Limited payment options: Lack of alternative payment methods like PayPal increases dissatisfaction.
    • Product dissatisfaction: Perceived stalled product development or competition from better alternatives.

    Can I Cancel Norton at Any Time?

    Norton allows you to cancel your subscription at any time, but cancellation only takes effect at the end of the current subscription period, so you won’t get an immediate stop to billing. Subscriptions automatically renew unless you turn off auto-renewal, and you are responsible for all payments until cancellation. While there’s generally a 60-day money-back guarantee for annual subscriptions, be aware that cancellation must be done directly with Norton unless you subscribed through a third party, in which case you must cancel through that third party, and Norton does not owe refunds for those payments.

    What Should I Know Before Cancelling Norton?

    Before canceling your Norton subscription, know that you will lose access to Norton's security features after your current paid billing period ends. This includes antivirus protection, firewall security, VPN services (if you had them), and any backup solutions provided by Norton 360. It's important to backup all your important files before cancellation since these services will no longer be available once the subscription lapses. Also, your protection continues only through the already paid term, so canceling stops the automatic renewal but does not immediately terminate service.

    What Information Do I Need to Cancel Norton?

    • Norton account login credentials (username/email and password)
    • Registered email address used for the Norton subscription
    • Original order number (especially if purchased directly from Norton)
    • Proof of purchase (if purchased from a third party)
    • Access to the "My Subscriptions" tab on your Norton account portal
    • Device or product information (for uninstalling or deactivating the software)
    • Billing information if you want to remove it or verify your identity
    • Case number (if you have contacted customer service for cancellation)
