Xfinity Dropping included Norton 360

Received a e-mail today that Comcast is dropping support for the included Norton Security for multiple devices. Norton will provide 6 months free, then 1 year for $29.99. Then it will cost $104.99/yr.

Stealth price increase by Comcast.

    does Comcast own Norton or was Norton a strategic partner with Comcast, a partnership that has now ended? there are lots of security suites on the market.


    Point is that Norton was included in the monthly Comcast internet charge at no additional cost. Now each user will have to obtain an internet security suite on their own at additional cost.


    the question was a reply to your statement that this is a "Stealth price increase by Comcast". maybe, maybe not.

    look, it's upsetting, i get it but things change. our family doc for the last 20-yrs just notified us that unless we switch to a medicare advantage plan he will drop us as patients. we are both really ticked off...he's been a good doc for us but we're not switching...screw him. lots and lots of doctors in our area. lots and lots of security suites, too. good luck.
  • Keep your operating systems updated, turn on Windows Defencer, and add Avast Free. Pay attention to where you click, avoid click-bait, and you will be fine. No need for elaborate security suites.
