Possible ‘Fake’ E-Mail from Norton Symantec Store

I got an e-mail today from ‘Symantec Store’ telling me that my subscription had expired…

…it hasn’t, I have over seven months left. I didn’t open the e-mail assuming it was malicious.

Also got something at the same time from ‘News Update Service’, deleted that one too.

Let’s be careful out there!

It’s SPAM, so is the news thing. Delete them without opening. If you have opened them, all you do is tell the SpamBots that your addy is live and you will get a deluge. Opening in preview pane is actually opening the file so don’t do it.

Aye I got it to, my subscription is expired but I’m well aware of the fact! and have been for over a year, a random email out of the blue seemed bizzare…..considering my computer reminds me about it every other day.
