I am getting very frustrated by how badly designed are some antivirus
products. Every time someone posts something to the list that even
mentions VBS, some viruses, or other innocuous text strings I get flooded
by warning messages from this useless products.

Particularly bad are the Sybari Software's Antigen for Exchange and
Symantec's Norton AntiVirus for Microsoft Exchange.

Not only to they do a sloppy job at detecting viruses which results
in many false positives, but instead of sending their warnings to
the mail's envelope from address they send it to the mail's from, to,
and cc headers.

From now on I will be treating this messages like out of office message
and summarily deleting the addresses that generate them.
