No, the best advice is to avoid paying silly prices for any AV software. Paid for AV software often offers additional features not available in free AV software such as VPN, Password manager, better support etc.

The majority of people probably don't need all those extras, so why pay for something you don't need?

I had problems with Norton, especially trying to contact them.

But it also started happening with AVG. Been brilliant for some time then took 4 times the amount I could buy it for online and they took the money ahead of time. They really shot themselves in the foot.

So yes, whatever you buy don't do autorenew. You get reasonable prices if they think you might leave.

If you must pay for anti-virus you get better prices if you don't buy from the vendor direct in the first place.  Plenty of keys on Amazon and eBay.

Dont pay for AV with auto renewal in place.
OP my advice is if your going to buy AV buy it from say Amazon and its just for a year or dont pay for Norton and use 1 of the free options.
