they also email you about 1 week before the auto renewal to remind you that you are going to be renewed. Last year I forgot to turn off the auto renewal, and you have 48 hours after it is renewed to cancel for a full refund.
so, yes, it is sort of annoying and a bit of a trap, but you also have quite a few ways out of the trap.
( obviously all of this might change at any time in the near or far future )
My brother has 3 kids (now all either just out of college or finishing up) and they constantly over the years have gotten viruses I have had to clean up on their PCs for them. Windows built in product simply does not catch everything or do as good a job as some of the other products in my experience. I install Norton for them and they almost never renew\someone forgets to renew and the cycle repeats and this has been going on for awhile. One now has a fiancee that is supposed to be a computer tech with a CS degree, and her PC gets infected and he has no idea how to go about fixing it (says something about the current state of college CS grads).
Everyone can make a mistake (even the most season IT pro), some people are clueless on PCs and kids are particularly bad at clicking on all the nonsense that is spewed to them on various websites and by their brain dead classmates following garbage on social media.The 2-3 dollars a PC per year for some decent AV and security software is worth it imo.

And make sure you have a backup strategy for your files so if something does happen you don't lose everything

On 08/11/2022 I got and automatic renewal notification. It listed my subscription renewal date of 10/15/2022 with the renewal price and specifically highlighted that I will be charged on 09/10/2022, a month before the subscription was due to expire.
Needless to say, I didn't realize and when I actually got charged for it I was in the middle of my vacation so no time to call and complain. They won this round.
Yes, Norton is crap. But I only use it for parental controls as it syncs across all devices.
We able to renew year after year with each of the three we can by?
YOU CAN REMOVE IT AFTER, but you have to remember to cancel the auto-renew information so they cannot charge you full price automatically next year.
At least that's how its worked in the part.
Edit: Even the listing says "with Autorenew" to make it clear its set up this way.

Also you can use https://privacy.com/ if your CC does not offer a virtual card.
Lastly, I've bought these several times the last few years and just chatted with the support agent to get the subscription added on/extending my existing expiration date.

The ability to cancel auto renew won't change, as disable it is simply illegal. You subscribe to a service and cannot cancel without penalty for a lifetime?
Think I would of learned by now…
