They only need to know one thing
The majority of viruses in circulation arrive in SPAM e-mails
If that doesn't get them interested nothing will

Something Pink and Mysterious!
No, it stands for Spontaneous Anonymous Mail, and at best it is irritating, at worst it can be malicious - even if there are no viruses attached to spam, it can flood your mailbox and take up so many system resources it can effectively deny service to the Internet until it is dealt with.
There are also insidious forms of spam - chain mails, scams and even spurious virus and malware reports.
Manually deleting and blocking spam addresses is futile, as most of it is created and sent by Marcos, which can generate hundreds of phony addresses and churn out thousands of mails, so investment in anti-spam software is a good move.

SPAM is unwanted e-mail (usually of a commercial nature sent out in bulk)

Spam is unwanted advertisements, that come into your mail box, or are sent to you in a chat room. Yahoo's chat rooms have become saturated with them.

Microsoft outlook is more than sufficient
Just ask your company people not to use their offical id for their personal use
