No, I'm not saying that people using M$ products are doing so because they are stupid or lazy. Perhaps they are if they refuse to even consider the alternatives. I don't consider myself stupid or lazy and I'm using M$ products both at home and at work. I don't like them. I suggest alternatives to damagement every time I have the opportunity. For my home machines, I have put my foot down -- neither XP nor W2K will ever be used in my home -- they are just too damn invasive. I'm toying with the idea of getting one of those Lindows machines when I need to replace one of my current machines. The only reason I don't go with full Linux is that I have not found a good Linux alternative to Quicken (and I'm either too busy or too lazy to write one 8-)
To restate what I said before: You always have a choice. Some people choose to believe that M$ is the ONLY choice. I don't.

Sometimes it is difficult to make the right choice. Consider a high school student who is doing poorly -- they can make the easy choice and drop out or they can make the difficult choice and work harder. In the case of M$, the easy choice is to accept whatever M$ does and produces. The difficult choice is to find a viable alternative (and even more difficult is to sell that to management). In the past, M$ bought out or crushed any viable alternative; they have been finding that more difficult lately.

I attached the description from your first email. It is stating that it's being blocked when it's trying to send to you, in which means it's infected on their end and are being scanned/blocked on it's way out from their systems. Have you contact them about the possible of virus attach on their end. In any case, we were alarmed and run the scan anyway.
