How is it we can't convince congress to pass a law that sending viruses is cause for immidiate execution, providing we have the right person of course, and said person is over the age of 10.

For those coming from outside the USA, the home country would be responsible to carry out the execution within 24 hours or face nuclear winter.

Just kidding of course.

Bill,- looks like an automated reply from someone who have received a virus infected mail from your address.
This does not necessarily mean that your machine is infected though, these viruses pick up email addresses 'everywhere' and use them to spread.

I usually get 2-3 of those "virus gevonden/virus found/virus funnet" type of mails every day (plus all the other infected mails and spam....), and my PC is clean from viruses.
