We're seeing a 38% infection rate this morning of all emails. We've stopped sending out recipient notifcations
great example: sender and recipient virus notifications are obviously good will but bad results, esp when there is a hurricane of infections like ILOVEYOU, sobig, etc.
The infected msg is bogus (sent by the wormbot), so destroying it is ok.
Generating sender/recipient notifications of the event seriously hassles both the probably forged sender and the recipient, as well as generating 1000's of msgs into your mail system. The AV notification actions are worse than the original infection.
