We're talking about virus notifications. I know these sometimes have
false positives (I belive gzip'ed files are often mistaken as infected
Windows executables), in cases like this, they can be identified with
100% accuracy. I don't think a notification is appropriate when the
message is known to be generated by a mail worm which forges email
headers.
