RE: [Full-Disclosure] AV "feature" does more DDoS than Sobig

["Richard M. Smith" <rms@computerbytesman.com>]

When I get one of these false alarm messages about Sobig, I am complaing
to both the company who sent the message and the vendor who supplies the
buggy software.  If an anti-virus software package knows that a
particular email virus uses forged return addresses, it shouldn't ever
send out a warning message about an infected email message.  If it does
send out a message in this situation, the message will almost surely go
to the wrong person.

Of course, these warning messages are also a form of spam since many of
them contain ads for the anti-virus software package that finds the
infected message.
