Instead, why not demand that your commercial software vendor close the holes in the software you payed for and stop wasting list bandwidth and maintainer time with all these stupid virus announcements? I think it's ironic that windows users, exasperated by their vendors inability to meet their needs (i.e. non-virus-infected systems), now seek to have Linux mailing list maintainers patch their problems for them. You have chosen to use a platform that is plagued by these sorts of problems. Likely because the expense of switching to another (say Linux) platform was unacceptable due to your needs. I think that it is inappropriate to ask list administrators to be burdened by your problems when there are other solutions.
