The problem you describe is not acceptable.
An AV program should never clean and then send an infected message.
99.99% of infected messages are bogus.
If your AV software is doing this, yell at them and then run away from them.
Another reason why I hate CA.
The preferred method is to quarantine the message and send the recipient a
notification.
