    No need to scare users by telling them they need to use
    "about:config". Disabling "Allow scripts to: Raise or lower
    windows" under "Tools/Options/Web Features/Advanced" does
    the same.

    NTBugtraq Editor's Note:
    Most viruses these days use spoofed email addresses. As such, using an Anti-Virus product which automatically notifies the perceived sender of a message it believes is infected may well cause more harm than good. Someone who did not actually send you a virus may receive the notification and scramble their support staff to find an infection which never existed in the first place. Suggest such notifications be disabled by whomever is responsible for your AV, or at least that the idea is considered.
