<\/div>\n

Office Depot and Support.com have coughed up $35m after they were accused of lying to people that their PCs were infected with malware in order to charge them cleanup fees.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the pair of businesses settled a lawsuit brought against them by the US Federal Trade Commission, which alleged staff at the tech duo falsely claimed software nasties were lingering on customers’ computers to make a fast buck.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit<\/a>, filed in southern Florida, claimed the two companies, including Office Depot subsidiary OfficeMax, from 2009 until November 2016 misrepresented the state of consumers’ computers by using a sales tool designed to convince people to pay for diagnostic and repair services.<\/p>\n

“In numerous instances throughout this time period, Defendants used the PC Health Check Program to report to Office Depot Companies customers that the scan had found or identified ‘Malware Symptoms’ when it had not done so,” the complaint stated. “Additionally, in numerous instances, the PC Health Check Program falsely reported to consumers that the program had found ‘infections’ on the consumer\u2019s computer. “<\/p>\n

According to the watchdog’s complaint, the PC Health Check Program was incapable of finding malware. Support.com allegedly programmed the software so that whenever an Office Depot Company employee checked any one of four checkboxes describing a generic concern, like slowness, before the scan started, the scan would automatically report the detection of malware symptoms, and for a time, infections.<\/p>\n

Hardcoded<\/span><\/h3>\n

But the results, it’s alleged, were predetermined. “Despite the statements in the PC Health Check Program\u2019s Detailed Report that the scan ‘found infections’ or ‘found’ or ‘identified’ malware symptoms, the PC Health Check Program\u2019s detection of malware symptoms was entirely dependent on whether any of the Initial Checkbox Statements was checked and not on the actual state of the computer,” the FTC court filing explained.<\/p>\n

The cost for PC Health Check could exceed $300, the complaint stated. The defendants, according to the FTC, bilked customers out of tens of millions of dollars. To settle the charges, Office Depot has agreed to pay<\/a> $25m and Support.com will pay $10m. The money will be refunded to affected customers, the FTC says.<\/p>\n

The alleged fraud appears to have been first reported in 2016<\/a> by Seattle TV station KIRO-TV, tipped off by a whistleblower.<\/p>\n

Support.com did not immediately responded to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

In a statement emailed to The Register<\/em>, a spokesperson for Office Depot said, “Office Depot\u2019s settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) resolves an investigation relating to a computer diagnostic service that was offered to Office Depot and OfficeMax customers prior to December 2016….While Office Depot does not admit to any wrongdoing regarding the FTC\u2019s allegations, the company believes that the settlement is in its best interest in order to avoid protracted litigation.”<\/p>\n

The FTC claims both companies “have been aware of concerns and complaints about the PC Health Check program since at least 2012” but Office Depot, it’s claimed, nonetheless continued to push the service until 2016.<\/p>\n

So, no wrongdoing. But $35m in penalties. \u00ae<\/p>\n
