Spamwatch: Top Ten Tips

Be wary of Norton branded software offers that come from a source not recognized as a legitimate reseller.
Do not respond to suspicious spammed emails. A response only confirms the accuracy of your email address, and may result in even more messages filling up your In-box.
If you are suspicious, do not click on the link asking to be taken off the sender's list, as the senders often use that as a ploy to confirm the recipient's address, resulting in even more spammed email.
Never submit your credit card details or other personal information to non-secure Web sites (there should be a locked padlock icon that appears in yellow, or in a yellow box, on the bottom bar of the order form Web browser).
Use spam filtering or spam blocking software.
Do not send your email address through chat rooms, instant message services or Internet bulletin boards and newsgroups.
Report suspicious online promotions of Symantec/Norton branded software by e-mail to piracy@symantec.com. You may also connect with the local contact of the Business Software Alliance (check the contacts list at www.bsa.org). In the US, you can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission about a spam email that you have received
If you are referred to an online store for Symantec or Norton products, check the official Symantec Web Site to confirm your information
Do not give out your primary email address for online registration or on e-commerce sites. Have another free email address to use more publicly.
