I use Eudora on MacOS. Whenever a new virus comes out I get dozens of 
emails with the virus from outlook infected computers flooding my 
mailbox. I can't be infected but I have to wear the traffic and 
delete all the unwanted files.

I run a Netpresenz web server. It can't be infected but I've been 
flooded with connection attempts from infected machines.

I'm getting bitten even though my system is secure. Microsoft 
products are like tobacco and I've ended up being a passive smoker I 
guess.
