Norton's address to send suspected virus?

Does anyone know this address? I can't find it on the symantec site. A
page at geocities appears to have a JS.Exception.Exploit trojan that
loads when you go to the page. I don't want to put the URL here because
some fool will inevitably click on it. I sent it to geocities abuse and
would also like to send it to Norton.

Uhhh...if NAV is telling you what it is, they could care less if you send it
as it's not use to them. They're only concerned with files that are
suspicious and that aren't detected with the very latest definitions.

Moreover, Symantec has been the first AV vendor to detect
JS.Exception.Exploit (as of the late of august 2001, if I remeber well). I
was in touch with them at that moment coz the other vendors said "it's not a
virus"...

Thanks for the info but no one has answered my question. I know there was an
address listed somewhere on their site to send suspected viruses to. It would
be nice to have for future reference.
