You might try googling for "+virus +hoax", or telling them to. Once they see how silly it makes them look, they'll think twice about bothering you about it. BTW, I don't mean this in an arrogant way. You're not telling them they are silly, just that a silly little virus/worm is making them look silly. Until they realize that, there's little hope of a cure (short of re-booting with a Linux install CD). And finally, I hope your anti-virus software isn't adding to the problem by mailing malware receipt notifications to senders. The worms are forging sender addresses. Me, I use procmail and drop anthing that even vaguely looks _virus related_ in the bit bucket. I run Linux, so I don't have to care. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
