How many of the paid antivirus companies have auto renew, Say you buy a paid av. Will it just run out at the end of the service period if there was no auto renew option selected at the time of purchase?

Should expire unless you agree to continually pay annually.
Be very careful when filling out online subscriptions :)

Never ever choose auto renew as there is fair chance you can get better product for less price next year

Agreed, you might find a better choice if you pick Kaspersky the next year. So really auto renew is for people completely trust their AV and want to use it the following year.
