Hey Ken

  I know they are, who going to spend 8 hours a day sending virus out for
free. All I want to do is to expose it and hope something come of it. It
take a lot of my time. First I have to wait for Norton to tell me the email
has a virus then I need to delete it. Before I do that I put a block on that
address. But they just keep coming with different addresses.

Kim,
I took Norton's " test drive" virus protection program which required giving
my email address.
My system had no viruses. The day before the test drive was up,
I get mysteriously bombarded with anonymous virus laden emails every day for
a week.
( Looked like spam but was addressed only to my email address )
I agree with you, Norton was behind this!
I vowed then and there not to buy their product!
Best,
Ken Newton
