Time for change?

Yes the standard internet user needs to be more aware of what they open in there email client but sadly the technology used to deliver these viruses hasn't changed much in the past few years.

Aren't there some new ideas on how to put security steps in place to avoid wide spread email viruses having such a high infection rate?
Of the number of emails sent per day the % that contain spam or virsus, isn't his number going to reach a critical mass at some point in the future?
