I came across one of those fake AV Web sites earlier today. I can see the URL in my Google Crome history. How do I report it to Norton as a malicious site?
Safe surfing is definitely ON, so it must be a new site, or one Norton is unaware of. I know these kinds of sites pop up every day, so its nearly impossible for them to keep track of every single one the moment they go live.
Just wanted to pass the info along to them, so they can add it to their list. Thank you! I will follow the steps you suggested to report the site.
Well, this is disturbing....
I looked up the URL of the site I was directed to in Safe Web. Norton has given the site an "OK" rating....even though there is only ONE user review....and it clearly state that the site hosts malware. The person who left the review described their problem, and it was exactly what I experienced.
Yet still, they have ranked the site as OK. I was re-directed there today, and it is DEFINITELY one of those Fake AV sites. No doubt about it.
There has to be a better way to notify Norton than simply leaving a review, no? Because apparently, they're noting paying much heed to those.

Also....is there another way to report the site without actually returning to it? In order to follow the steps you outlined, I must go back to the bad URL....which I do NOT want to do. I can see the URL in my Google Chrome browsing history. I'd prefer to simply copy and paste it from there and send it in to Norton for further investigation.
I'm trying to do my part to keep the community safe....but they aren't making it easy, are they? :(
