Norton Antivirus tech support scam lands Symantec reseller in hot water 1-844-240-8386

Symantec has terminated an agreement with one of its partners after a rival security firm caught the reseller using fake anti-virus warnings to lure customers into purchasing Norton at a bloated price.

Jérôme Segura, a senior security researcher for Malwarebytes, explains in a blog post how he came across a fake alert window bearing the following message:

"System Critically Infected. If you are not able to click on this button, Immediately contact Support toll Free Helpline 1-844-240-8386."
