NTBugtraq Editor's Note:
Most viruses these days use spoofed email addresses. As such, using an Anti-Virus product which automatically notifies the perceived
sender of a message it believes is infected may well cause more harm than good. Someone who did not actually send you a virus may
receive the notification and scramble their support staff to find an infection which never existed in the first place. Suggest such
notifications be disabled by whomever is responsible for your AV, or at least that the idea is considered.
