I noticed the fine print when I signed up. I didn't want to have that happen without my consent, so I had my credit card company generate one of those one-time-use numbers with an expiration date in early 2004. So that ought to keep them from re-billing me without letting me know. We'll see...they'll probably use it as an excuse to raise the price. Does it really cost ~$30/PC/year to produce and sell virus software with a reasonable profit? They must make a killing.

It is not what it costs them to produce antivirus updates to PCs, it is what are you willing to spend to have a current version.
