What's really Sad is that Symantec does not have an option for the general public (i.e. Independent Virus Researchers) to submit virus samples . You have to either A. Submit it through their product. B. Have a Corporate Support contract. Guess they don't want new samples.
On the devil's advocate side, maybe they don't have it since it would be trivial for a virus creator to flood them with bogus information. Its easy to point a finger and say shame shame shame on you guys. You guys blow, foobar, cry, but I've yet to have an instance where I was looking for a point of contact at a vendor and not found one. Most times I get the impression the (l)user on the mailing list disclosing sends out one email knowing damn well the ratio for a response will be low - especially when a response was sent to "abuse" or "contact" or some other generic account. They then run along to a mailing list(s) then cry foul "Vendor absent". Typical nowadays when many that I've seen come and go never learning much other than how to be a PACH. (buzzword - Point And Click Hacker). -- ==================================================== J.
