How about NOT posting ANY more virus warnings.  If you do not open any
executable file received via email you will never be infected by an email
virus.  If you received an executable from a friend, do NOT execute it
until you have independently verified that it was purposely sent to you.

Do not open files with an EXE extension ... no open files that can contain
an executable macro ... such as Word (DOC), Excel (XLS), etc.
