Hi
If you want to submit suspicios file or virus to symantec security response team. use this link.
https://submit.symantec.com/websubmit/retail.cgi
Zip the infected files, fill up the form. after submission symantec will send tracking number to your e-mail ID immediately.
This is confirmation mail of submission only.
Another e-mail will come with closing, if symantec find your submitted file was virus, then symantec will provide virus definition updates,
