That is a good question, and one with no clear answer. Even if there is a
clearly defined law locally, how can you be sure that one of your users
isn't calling from another country? Unlikely, but possible.
No virus software, no matter how good it is, can stop all viruses. No
matter how quickly they act, they have to see a live virus before they can
find a way to detect it. Someone has to be sent the virus in the first
place, and report it to the AV company.

That sounds like a good idea to me. You may want to say something about
how the virus scanning "reduces the risk of viruses". It can't hurt to
educate users (some of whom are scared that they will catch the virus their
computer has!) to let them know that they can get viruses in other ways, as
well (if they connect to other mail servers, through HTML scripts, floppies
they borrow, even ICQ).
