Symantec Hit With Class-Action Lawsuit Over Auto-Renewals

A man in New York has filed a class-action lawsuit against Symantec over their practice of auto-renewals in Norton Antivirus. Funny how a $76.03 charge could end up costing Symantec quite a bit more if this suit gains traction.

Elan charged Symantec with deceptive business practices and unjust enrichment, and asked the court to make the company refund all fees generated by automatic renewals. He also asked the court to grant the lawsuit class-action status, which would open the case to a potential pool of thousands.
