Evolution can *not* be talked into spreading any Windows virus automatically by an incoming mail. The most common purpose of running a virus scanner for Linux machines simply is to get rid of those annoying buggers, without the need to manually delete/move them.

Well, I couldn't even think about how to do this. Apart from a "ClamAV" rule that effectively is exactly what is mentioned in the above post.
