It encourages people to believe that your mail is safe, when it might
not be. You could have a virus attached, but they'd believe
it was safe
thanks to that writing. It's easily faked (e.g. by something attaching
viruses to e-mails), people should do their own testing. A far more
sensible message would be: "If this message came with a file, you
should test it for viruses."
Well fwiw, installing the free AVG prints such messages to both incomming
and outgoing scanned messages/files and cannot be blocked by the user other
than to remove or buy the professional AVG product. I agree that all computer
users should have Anti-S/V programs installed and to secure their systems, as
I do, but don't take my word for it, scan and scan again to your heart's content!
I have yet to find a free product such as AVG from the OpenSource community that
is fully-loaded and fully-automatic such as professional AV/S products provide
and hence the reason for my continued use of AVG.
No virus found in this outgoing message.
Checked by AVG Free Edition.
