hello folks. I have just realised that a friend has probably been 'had' and want to show her the details on the web, for I remember other people complaining about the same sort of thing a few months back.

Some time back she received a message saying her her Norton AV subscription had expired, was directed to a Symantec - she thought - site, and when she had paid up for the renewal an AV and a Firewall were then downloaded. She thought they were new versions of Nortons

They are called HackerSmacker ( Firewall) and ViRobot Expert ( AV).

These are not the names that I recall were mentioned when other folk were (wrongly) told their NAV sub had expired and were directed to a site which looked like Nortons but wasn't.... do you know anything about this please?
