If you send me a mail with an attachment, I will scan the attachment anyway before opening, because I won't rely on you updating the virus signatures. And if Norton (or any virus scanner, for that matter) allows a virus on your computer in the first place (so it could theoretically be sent in the attached Excel file), how trustworthy is your AV software to begin with?
