Roll your own virus checking rules, and save them somewhere.  For instance,
in /etc/procmailrc.viruscheck.  Make sure you include a line like the
following in your users' .forward file:

	"|/usr/local/bin/procmail /etc/procmail.viruscheck"

That should be used only for those users you want to enable virus checking
for.
