All right, so one Wednesday night I was fidgeting with my home computer, getting on the Internet etc. It took me a little while to realize that Norton was turned off. I was kind of worried because it might have turned off for a malware/whatever reason. So I clicked on the Norton icon in the tray and it said that there were 0 days remaining for subscription. In reality, there were about 260 days left until the subscription expired. I freaked out and called my dad and etc, but nothing else weird was going on. A couple days later the subscription days left were back to normal, and Norton was protecting our computer again. 
A few weeks later, on a Wednesday night, it happened again. With the information we had, we decided that Windows does updates on Wednesday nights. But does Norton shut itself off and reset itself a day or two later after updates are done? Does this normally happen with Norton, or is the home computer just messed up? OS is XP. I am almost positive there isn't any malware floating around because we scan with Malwarebytes' and Spybot on a regular basis and they never find anything.
Thanks.
