You may want to check with f-prot or MailScanner mailing list(s).
I'm using MailScanner/SpamAssassin/Sophos, and whenever it catches a virus,
it disinfects it (a.k.a. deletes the virus permanently). Check your
MailScanner.conf file to see what the scanner actually does to the
supposedly infected emails.
Also, MailScanner is known to block certain types of emails and label them
{Virus?}, even though it's usually something like something bad in the
HTML, etc. Like I mentioned before, check around your MailScanner.conf
file, and look around http://www.mailscanner.info for more information
concerning MailScanner.
