Re: Virus Wars...

I just dont get it. Why are you and others saying that SUN is distributing these viruses? Are they doing it..or is it some malicious person sending them to an open mailing list that others read? I am sorry, but I dont agree with you or anyone saying that SUN is at fault. They opened up a very good mailing list for those of us in interest, and I feel the person responsible for submitting the virus (if on purpose) should be convicted! Its obvious some of these emails are purposely being submitted to the list, and these days, its quite common for even non-computer users to know about a virus on a computer.   If your so concerned, have you tried contacting SUN by phone and bringing it to their attention? What I fear most is that you and others that keep saying this will end up with SUN shutting down the list, instead of spending man-hours putting in code to eliminate the attachments. That would be worse, in my opinion, than just not reading the emails with attachments, or not opening the attachments.   Why is it so hard for those who get emails to just not open the attachment? Seems pretty obvious to me.
