What really pisses me off is that someone elses infected computer starts sending out emails under your name, and then other ISP's start blocking your email thinking you have the virus. My email is now blocked by three major servers cutting me off from several friends and people I do business with. For example I order things from AB Linn. His server apparently now has all mailcity and lycos email addresses blocked. Not just the specific email, but the entire domain. I know because I created a brand new test account and it was blocked too, and it was only 10 minutes old. So it has to be the entire domain that is blocked.
DO NOT BE LAZY. VIRUS PROOF YOUR MACHINE. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW, ASK FOR HELP.
