Majority of the people who send these mails are people who dont have a clue.
Come on people lets be serious, if i was going to send a virus of my own creation, would i really use my own email ? DUUURRRRRR
My Advice is get on to your ISP and get them to install an antiviral on your mail server, and if something gets thru report it, and get their definitions updated.
If your norton allows you to send virus's back it must be setup wrong, as its supposed to stop them BOTH ways, may wanna look into that.
It should also be noted that if the said person is innocent as above YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT COULD BE TERMINATED for sending viruses, so its never a good idea.
The latest worm thats doing the rounds had a short subject like 'text' or 'photos' or 'that file' something like that, with an email message that says Helllo, then asks a question, like 'what version of windows are you using', 'did you get the last file' whatever then says the below.
Hello,
QUESTION HERE
This last document I received from you came out weird.
Please see the attached word file and resend the file to me.
Many thanks,

This is a WORM and the person sending it DOESNT know, and needs a kick in the balls for not having a virus scanner installed.
