I think people can end email viruses without the agreement of
blackhats. i think the solution is very simple: force users of email
to set a flag before their email service will accept executable files
or scripts in email, and cut all javascript and vbscript out of email
messages before presenting them. that simple. would fix so many of the
problems... because people would have to be expecting a exe for any
worm to work, which would make the world a better place...
