In my opinion, you have to be a bit of an idiot if you get a virus from an email sent to your hotmail account.

Because you can't get a virus just by opening an email and reading its contents. You have to download the attachment, and if you download an unknown file from someone you don't know then quite frankly you deserve to get infected. And this doesn't just apply to hotmail.
