You could if you are doing it on purpose. There are laws aginst distributing viruses. If you do not know there is a virus in an attachment you are sending on, you are not at fault and will not be held liable.

Definitely YES! You're harming somebody else's property and you could get in some serious trouble with the law.

Viruses that damage computers are illegal resulting in goverment, and private prosecution. Plus if a person finds out they can sue you. So eh, wouldn't reccomend it.
