| Re: Unsticking yourself from your security app The bigger issue with any Auto-Renewal from any company is the fact that somewhere they must keep your credit card info and the expiration date of your card...trusting them with that data base has been the downfall of many to date.

| Re: Unsticking yourself from your security app I use Windows Live One Care. Recently my renewal date came up and Windows renewed it without asking. I was thinking of letting it go in favor of Blink, which I was testdriving at the time. You can imagine how miffed I was over that. So the debit card information that they have listed is yanked. They could have at least asked first. Lesson to me!

| Re: Unsticking yourself from your security app said by mers2  :Problem is there isn't enough backlash from consumers to change this rotten practice. I agree, we the consumers should harras Companies via email, phone, mail and let the public know through forums like dslreports. Even though some people don't completely read the fine print when they purchase items on the internet. This is a low down dirty practise of gaining revenue from the un-knowing, un-educated user.
I myself have had to pull my credit card details for the same reason. | |

| Precisely why I use "ShopSafe" from my CC company. 
It will generate a temporary number for you for the time you specify, and no more than the amount you specify. To the vendor, it looks like your CC expires in a couple of months and your credit limit is surprisingly close to the item you're buying. | |

If the charge is $10, I limit the card to $10. An extra step anyone should take - it's worth the extra three minutes to generate a number. | |

2 edits | Re: Unsticking yourself from your security app Thanks for the EULAlyzer tip! Will download & take a look at it. I was guilty of assuming that just because I had read the EULA when I originally bought the McAfee FW, the EULA hadn't changed. WRONG! They snuck that little tidbit into the EULA (without public announcement)sometime between Dec 2004 and March 2006.
