I would tell the silly user that the delete key is his friend.  The warnings *are* ugly.  Getting malware is uglier.  It's really not that hard to hightlight the warning and press delete when he forwards.  If they're legitimate links from a regular source such as a newsletter, you can add them to the whitelist and weed a good portion of them out.  They're there for a good reason though.  If users paid more attention to such things we wouldn't have to be so draconian.

Just my tuppence worth...
