    That's good. Unfortunately it is not the case for most commercial
    anti-malware products.

    I don't see how this is relevant to my paragraph above. I was not equating
    DSNs to UBE -- I specifically mentioned virus "warnings". Whether those
    warnings are look like DSNs, smell like DSNs, or taste like DSNs is wholly
    irrelevant; they are still UBE if sent to forged virus sender addresses.
