I subscribed to Norton 360 in 2008, upgraded to norton 360 premium with online storage. Two months into my renewed subscription, they said my online storage site was full, so i paid $40 dollars to upgrade my online storage to a 32 G.B. of extra storage, this was on march 24, 2009. I had lost a couple files and was hoping to download files from my online storage site, which indicated that the last upload from my computer was the 10th of March 2010. I tried to download files with no success, so i asked for help from the norton online line people. At first , i was in belief that my files were safe and sound in the storage facility, after three remote assistances,3 failures and 72hours of hell, i was informed that the files were not there. I have requested back up disks of my online files to see exactly what they have of my information online. My only reponse They will have a supervisor phone me to correct the issue. Here is the latest that i copied from todays conversation with the norton online specialist supervisor

I have had numerous phone calls from norton support wanting remote access and  there reasoning is that they need remote access to correct errors on my computer, i do not believe them.


My only option at this point is a web based site like this one as i am only a small fish in a very, very, very, Large pond
