The 'Norton' scam is well-known to people who follow 'scam-baiters' - people who go after scammers.

Here is a video that might shed some light on what it is all about. I absolutely love this guy 'Pierogi' on his channel 'Scammer Payback' on Youtube, and I follow him regularly. This video is a little bit older, but I was trying to find one that focused on the Norton angle of the scam. I hope this helps. (the advice given to you by people on this thread is spot on. Ignore any attempts at communicating with you by these people.)
