In reply to Tom Kerwin. I'd uninstall it, personally. My renewal reminder was an email from Symantec as we have the corporate version. I was glad to tell them this year we're not renewing!

How can I stop the Windows Vista Semantec renewal notice, I don’t want to renew, but it keeps asking everytime I logon.

@Chris Does that mean you’re volunteering to donate the difference so I can afford to go Sophos? :-) Believe me, I tried to replace Symantec at both offices this year and budgets did not allow. Will likely push again next year; just renewed Symantec for one year. To get anywhere near the same pricing I have to go four years prepaid (three plus one free) with Sophos!

And it wouldn’t solve my problem…they’d still send me reminders, even if I canceled :-)

This is an easy problem to solve…. stop using their products. :)

Very interesting indeed! You being a non-profit organization they hound like crazy to get you to renew, but I being a full-on for-profit company have never received so much as a peep from them about our contract. I would have to dig through my files and records to see when we last re-upped our yearly contract just to check if we are still current.
