The file size matched the virus size. This was not an accident, but an
intentional effort to spread the virus. The virus was not "attached" to
the file, but was the file.

I have what may be considered an antiquated view on justice. Do the
crime and you do the time. No warning, no second chances. Now if you
really want to hack me off just try to start justifying doing something
that is unquestionably wrong. Like posting a virus in the file section.
