Would that include viruses that require action on the part of the recipient? Included in password protected zips? What is the difference between tricking a person into opening a password protected zip (which is not dangerous in its delivered form) and tricking a user into clicking a link that takes them to the virus?
To me, there seems to be no difficulty in distinguishing these threats.
So? I never said that I can't tell the difference between a virus in the email and a link to a page that causes infections. If it was just me, the whole point is moot since I don't run an MS OS and even when I did, I was smart enough not to use Outlook or open unknown attachemts.
It is not you that I get on the phone accusing me of not protecting your computer. Most email users do not see the difference. For reasons similar to those Julian has been using, we don't block Spam, we send spam to a junkmail folder for each user to review. Viruses and links to viruses are the same thing as far as my end user is concerned and that is who I am serving.
