Mozilla, the program, is just a program, its just a potential virus host
like any other executable.
However, that doesn't stop somebody downloading a virus and running it,
or opening one in their email. You can only protect against that with
server-side filters or virus scanners on the server or client side.
Mozilla is not affected by any known worms, or security holes that would
allow worms to spread - so its not like Outlook, its not a worm-magnet.
