I like free as much as the next guy, but then again, the old saying 'You get what you paid for' is still valid, there are some things in life that you may not want for free. A telling indicator that they are not objecting to Norton per se, rather they are objecting to having to pay for something that they could otherwise get for free. I did notice that most of those complaining about Norton chose a free alternative. Hoping that this helps in the those IT amateurs complaining that Norton is too 'intrusive,' take it from an IT professional-a proper antivirus program is BY DEFINITION intrusive, It HAS TO BE, because it's job is to monitor every process happening within the operating system, looking for malicious code that wants nothing more that the operating system to run it so it can do its dirty deeds. And too good to be true is generally just that.

Had you read those comments then, you could have made an informed buying decision to hit the back button and NOT buy. With all due respect, the time to have read the feedback comments, which document problems going back six months, was before you bought, not after. This advice won't help you now, but will help you in the future. And the key was sent via email, not mail, so it's not a package I can return for the paypal refund. I read their feedback (ebay user name: safespace-0) and many people are having the same problem with this seller in the last 6 months. What can be done? This seller needs to refund me or reactivate the key. Now 3 months later, I am getting a message that 'the key you entered is registered to a different account, and has no licenses available.' The seller has deativated the key they sold me, or it was really only a 90 day trial they sold me fraudulently and is telling me I cannot contact the seller or take action because it is over 30 days ago, but the key was supposed to last 1 year. Purchased a Norton Internet Security 1 year key from a seller in November.
