So am I.

If and when I set up a content-based spam filter, I'll surely add AV notifications to 
the list of things to be trashed.

BTW, Fridrik Skulason - the author of F-PROT - has published at least two open letters 
on his site asking that AV software stop sending this sort of warnings, for the 
reasons everybody knows or should know: today's viruses forge the sender address and 
rely on their own SMTP engines without attaching themselves to legitimate mail sent by 
unaware users, so the only thing that gets a chance of being informed that it sends a 
virus is the virus itself ...
