Two tech support firms, Restoro and Reimage, have agreed to pay $26 million to settle Federal Trade Commission (FTC) charges. The firms were accused of deceiving consumers, particularly older adults, into purchasing unnecessary repair services by falsely claiming they could eliminate viruses and malware from computers. The FTC's investigation, which included undercover operations, revealed the companies' deceptive practices. As a result of a 2019 FTC lawsuit, more than 27,000 consumers are expected to receive compensation from the settlement.
