Right, but it's still spam. I read mail on a Linux box that is utterly
immune to Outlook mail-based viruses, but this is spam as far as I'm
concerned. There will never be a reason for me to have an antivirus
scanner on my computer. I don't see why SA couldn't do this for simple
cases. I agree with you on polymorphic viruses, though.
