HTML enables a heck of a lot of problems:  "web bugs" in email,
links to fake sites that appear as real ones in what shows up
on the screen, Javascript viruses, denial-of-service attacks
(pages that open two windows when you close one), etc.

I liken it more to hating all viruses because some of them 
install keyloggers.
