regarding email viruses from friends....

the greatest flaw i see in the thinking that "i won't open attachments unless they are from my friends" is that this is precisely what the latest viruses are designed to do....

they infect a pc, then mail themselves to everyone in the person's address book.

so everyone using the above criterion ("do i know the sender?") for judging the safety of an attachment is essentially had bad.
