Email viruses are rather old hat now.
Well obviously the 3m+ stupid people who clicked the attachment already would like to speak to you about that view
Unfortunately people open attachments as sometimes these viri are written in such a way as to make people believe that people they know have sent them something to look at. On other occassions it's just people who are not "wordly wise" to the Internet that get caught out and then propogate the virus. Not everyone with a PC and internet connection are experienced enough to know of all the dangers that they could face when they open a browser or read an email.
