Please turn off any virus scanner autoresponders.  They serve only to
advertise the virus package, and almost never manage to figure out the
correct sender of the virus.  The only reason this bug hasn't been
removed from many virus scanners, as far as I can tell, is that it
gives the vendor the opportunity to spam people from multiple
sources.  "Look at Brand X virus scanner!  It can protect against this
virus!  Even if it can't tell where it came from!"

I treat virus autoresponders as spam and report them as such.  You
have been warned.
