Would it really be anymore libelous than sending erroneous e-mail virus notifications? A simple quick, "it appears that "virus name" was sent from your computer "IP". Then include a link(s) to anti-virus sites. Last night I was watching as a computer was sending viruses to my domain, I knew the person had to be online and it was very frustrating that there was no way to contact this person to tell them that their system had been compromised. The only reliable info I have is the IP and if I contact Road Runner, Verizon ect, they never contact the user.
Also if I had the capability to do this, it is unlikely that I would include any info that could connect me to the message, just in case....

And then by doing that, you would be opening up yourself for libel. Remember Code Blue. It is still considered a malicious virus, irregardless of what it does.
