there will be more and more of the kind of dipwad users that made ILoveYou the most successful virus in history.

ILoveYou was enabled by Microsoft Outlook. Until then you couldn't get or spread a virus by simply viewing an email.

ILoveYou needed the person to double click the icon, it didn’t spread just by viewing unless you turned on the auto-run attachments feature, and you had to turn that on that defaulted to off.
