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.
