I had email just now, with the subject line "Weeeeee!", from someone I have, by choice, not spoken to in quite some time, and who no longer lives in New York.
With an attachment. Right, sure. This person, whatever zir other sins, was and presumably still is moderately clueful about computers (if not about how to discuss them with people).
I was completely unsurprised to see that the attachment was labeled "Norton AntiVirus Deleted." Needless to say, I did not open it.
The distant sadness is that I was relieved, rather than annoyed, that this was a virus that had both of our addresses in its address book, rather than an actual (and presumably cheerful) message from the person in question.
