The current problem we have is not the worm (and the OS that made them
too easy), although that is the origin of the problem, but the stupid
programmers of antivirus software, which are clever enough to analyze
that a virus is forging the sender, but did not manage yet - for
several years - to spread program versions which take this clue.[1]
Although the worm flood is bothering enough, it is at least easily
handled. All those automatic notifications, which have no common
characteristic most times, are what really cause me work.

[1] I.e. make their software not sending notifications on such worms,
no matter what preferences the user choses. And that's regardless
of what one thinks about the the value of such notifications to
begin with.
