Must you incorporate it:  No

Should you incorporate it?  Depends on your moral obligation.  Some people
take the high road and say, "They are running Windows.  They deserve what
they get.  Virus's and all."   Some take the low road.  "Some of my friends
still run Windows & I don't want to pass on an infection to them."

Your results may vary.


My personal experience is that I do not have any anti-virus on my Linux
workstation.  Most of the forwarded messages I get are text.  I have a
VMware installation of Windows 98 & 2K, running Norton A/V to test messages
that are questionable.

I've found that common sense is usually the best defense against virial
infection.
