True, those warnings very tiresome and stupid. But... the big point I guess: The reply is a big ad for the AV company -- the receiver (whose address was forged) gets scared and considers to buy the stuff. :)

Heh, not only are these "warning" messages bothersome, some of them actually help spread the virus. I've already received some automated replies (via a faked From: address) telling me that "my" email was blocked because its contents were detected to be a security risk, and "here you go, your copy of the rejected email, virus attachment included"...
Stupid software...
