The Verdict: Stop wasting time searching for a reset. Norton has designed their trial to be unhackable for the average user.

B) Switching to Microsoft Defender, which is free and excellent.
Remember: Security software is only useful if it is legitimate. A "cracked" antivirus is an oxymoron—like installing a lock that the thief has the key to.
