I could not find it on the Norton website.
But this is what Microsoft has to say:

Microsoft never distributes software directly via e-mail.

* We distribute software on physical media like CD ROMs and floppy disks.
* We distribute upgrades via the Internet. When we do this, the software will be available via our web site, http://www.microsoft.com, or through http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.asp?.
* We occasionally send e-mail to customers to inform them that upgrades are available. However, the e-mail will only provide links to the download sites -- we will never attach the software itself to the e-mail. The links will always lead to either our web site or our FTP site, never to a third-party site.
* We always use Authenticode to digitally sign our products and allow you to ensure that they have not been tampered with.

If you receive an e-mail that claims to contain software from Microsoft, do not run the attachment . The safest course of action is to delete the mail altogether. If you would like to take additional action, report the e-mail to the sender's Internet Service Provider. Most ISPs provide an "abuse" userid for this purpose.
