It seems to me that this can be replaced with "Today's viruses almost invariably forge the sender information." and that it no longer makes any sense whatsoever to send a virus alert notice to the address indicated in the "from" header.
Can anyone remember the last time they encountered a virus that *didn't* forge the sender information? IIRC, the last one I saw was an AnnaK virus, ~3 years ago.
