#NORTON ANTIVIRUS SCAM EMAIL HOW TO#

I also run a Windows Defender Offline Scan often, because most experienced malicious coder / hacker deviants know how to hide their BS in places that are hard to clean. Here is a copy of the email: Norton Antivirus To:l Tue, Apr 13 at 10:29 AM Dear Larry, Your Subscription for NortonLLC has been renewed & updated successfully. Has anyone else received anything like this. Of course, because I'm a total Nazi about these things, I run Windows Update every time I rest and massage my hands (to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome), which is about every 10-15 minutes. I received an email from 'Norton Antivirus' stating that my NortonLLC account was being automatically renewed. I find that Microsoft's built-in Windows Defender antivirus / anti-malware / anti-spyware works great. I used to, a long time ago, with Windows XP, but I gave up on it as it consumed too much cpu time - my computers got a lot slower - and it was too expensive.

I found it in my inbox.ģ) I don't use Norton Antivirus. If the scam email goes to the spam folder, it's done.įor this particular scam email, it worked! Gmail didn't send it directly to my spam folder. The scammer has formatted it like this in the hope that it will trick the email spam filter. Hmmmm.Not sent from Norton, me thinks: DERP!Ģ) You see how the phone number is spaced out? That's a giveaway too.
