If someone has out of date virus definitions on their systems, then it may only be a matter of time before their machine is infected and the list is at risk. So to be totally secure, it would be necessary to perform a scan and send in a screenshot at regular intervals. IMHO, if we put the onus on a single individual then this will be too much of an overhead for them. Therefore, I feel that it is up to all of us to make sure that we have up to date AV software and definitions. Then, if we receive anything, we can deal with it.
