    payments taken monthly, so there are still 4 to go. I can't understand why they wont stop taking the payments (they say they can't).
    If you are paying monthly then you may have taken out a "loan" through a third party, which is why they can't cancel it. Check your paperwork.

    You have 2 option; accept the loss and move on. Next PC get a free antivirus or

    accept the help that is being offered freely and keep your existing machine running for years.

    The choice is yours.
