Actually, EXCUSE ME! The notification was created automatically by AVG in conjunction
with TB!. I had nothing to do with it, as my original post clearly indicates. I agree
it's a pain, and would gladly disable the auto-response if there were any known way to
do so.

I'm sorry, but unless you do some research, notifying the 'alleged
sender' is pretty much ineffective in some cases. Take Klex for
example... it spoofs mail From: fields based on what it finds in the
address book. To me a notification such as this is a pain, I get maybe
10-15 a week accusing me of being infected, and I even get some on
mailing lists saying they are infected too... mailing list cannot be
infected, it's just a script, and I know for sure I'm not, not only do
I have a locally running virus scanner, but I run one on the company
mail/web server, and one on the network too. All get checked for
updates 2 times a day. I personally suggest if you want to be helpful
and notify the 'sender', you do some research into headers first :P
