I'm averaging almost that many AV-scanner alerts bouncing to me an *hour*. And inbound Sobig-F are above 1 per minute. I still say we should have put this in the "security considerations" in RFC1341: "If you think you know how to secure active objects in e-mail, you are probably very mistaken. There be serious and nasty dragons here." (with apologies to the authors of 'xterm'). On the other hand, maybe we didn't do THAT badly - I can only think of one vendor that really didn't pay attention....
