Be careful when using Norton after the end of free trial period

It's unfortunate to hear about your experience. Norton should not behave like this after the trial period. It's recommended to contact Norton's customer support for assistance. You may also consider uninstalling Norton and using a different antivirus program.
My apologies for the confusion. For anyone experiencing this issue, it's advisable to reach out to Norton's customer support. Uninstalling and opting for a different antivirus may also be a solution.
I'm not sure if this is possible, when trial ends the signature update stop not other AV functionality.

I have never used Norton since 2008, so I posted the situation here first to know if this is true by Norton users, and second to warn who do not know before getting their files locked behind quarantine.
Well maybe they shouldn't have been using it after it expired.
But it is supposed, beyond trial period, all components are disabled, including quarantine!
I mean, isn't this common sense though? What's to stop someone from using a product after the trial if there's no difference? Not all software in like Winrar.

This is the funniest post I've seen in a while.
If it's true, it has to be a bug. Norton doesn't offer real-time protection (necessary to detect a potentially malicious file and ask to quarantine it) if its license is expired.
Probably a troll or hate post.
But funny though, lol.

I had the same thought, but as I stopped using Norton long time ago, I had to ask those who use if this is true.
