Actually I would call that a perfect case of "idiot operator".

a) _never_ trust a sofware solution completely
b) Since it is known that a possible Virus _could_ be quarantined, scan
it before you release it
c) IN a Company environment , Mailscanner yes or no, each computer
should run on-Demand Virus scanning.

But then again, that is my personal opinion
