Message-ID: <EKECJMGPAACGOMIGLJJDIELMDOAA.geoincidents@getinfo.org> From: geoincidents at getinfo.org (Geo.) Subject: Virus Notification Hell (VNH) This has really gotten out of hand. The "symantec has found a virus" notifications are worse than the damn virus. So with that in mind may I suggest the following: Since the AV folks know which virus spoof the FROM address, how about disabling these stupid notifications for those particular virus? Your software is faulty when its sending out alerts to completely innocent users scaring them into thinking they have a virus. Come on guys, I'm tired of explaining to the average user that they don't have a virus and that it was just some stupid braindead function of Symantec Anti virus software that is alerting the wrong person. SYMANTEC FIX IT!! Note to everyone else, if symantec doesn't fix it, say by the time the next spoofing email virus strikes, perhaps we should start bouncing those notifications to Symantec mail servers in an attempt to wake them up? Geo.
