Florian, don't forget that the vast majority of virus scanners have been
set up by people only used to using the very OS that's caused the
problem in the first place. They have no idea whatsoever of how to
configure something, they just click the "Install" button. The scanner
writers are the problem, they've seen a wonderful way of spamming and
then claiming "not me guv, honest". Perhaps Gates can use some of the
vast profit he's just announced to sort his crap out. Pigs might fly.
