Most, if not all worms/virus programs scan the infected system for email addresses and use those as a sender. The "sender" field of the mail is spoofed, it is most likely NOT the owner of the infected system. [the Sober.I worm that is spreading since last friday (actually, it started infecting systems since last tuesday Nov 16th, but did not start its own mail engine before friday Nov 19th) even knows of TheBat!'s message files (.tbb) and will harvest mail addresses from there] The automated warning message to the sender of an infected attachment is a thing of the past (in *every* antivirus program), and it does serve NO purpose other than increasing unneccessary mail traffic. That function should be turned off by all means.
