Morgwen,

I sense sarcasm in the original poster's comment about punishing those people (hence the smiley). Its more about the need for people to be more aware about virii they could accidentally distribute without knowing it.

It is kinda like the MS Outlook case, where people are being told over-and-over not to open attachments with ".EXE" or ".VBS" as the file extension or have weird e-mail contents, but still open it out of curiosity.
