MailScanner has a distinction between "Cleaned" and "Disinfected".
Disinfected ---- only possible to do this with document macro viruses. Real 
removal of the virus from the attachment, while leaving the attachment 
itself totally intact. Very few macro viruses around these days, so you 
probably want to leave this switched off.
Cleaned ---- what you can do to any virus, i.e. just remove the entire 
attachment from the message and replace it with a text file saying what 
went wrong.

I suspect the option you are looking for is
Deliver Cleaned Messages = no
