There is a very simple solution to that.  Make them sign a release that
says,

"I am hereby requesting that (ISP) disable virus protection on my e-mail
account.  I understand that by doing this, my machine may be infected with a
virus, and may be involved in various forms of abuse.  I also understand
that by doing this, I will be solely responsible for any and all actions my
computer takes.  Should I get infected by a virus, I understand that my
provider may deny my computer access to their network in order to prevent my
computer from infecting other machines or disrupting normal network
activity."

Obviously, reword it and have your legal department take a look over it.
But, that should release you from liability if the user should come back and
blame you for getting infected.  Plus, this gives you the right to deny the
user in question access to your network until they solve the problem.
