You're talking about an industry that sees fit to make the problem 3 to 4
times worse by sending advertising spam (a.k.a "a virus was detected" notices)
back to the (almost always during the last 2-3 years) forged From: of the
mail, and that inflate their penis-extender "number of different viruses
detected" claims with things not prevalent enough in the wild to be a threat.

If anything, *not* fueling the problem to ensure you have a job would be
so out-of-character for the A/V industry that you'd probably be shunned
as a complete and total loon.
