You know... I have my friends do this on a constant basis. I keep telling them that the real virus is the operator behind the keyboard that sees it, then spams everyone on their contact list. It is a virus, but relies on the user to help plug up e-mail servers, or in this case, to follow the "virus" instuction code to go search for the file and manually delete it. Oh well, 4 more calls on the phone this morning, it's going to be a good week.
