I vote for sending notifications to the sender only although the ability to not send based on the virus sounds interesting. I don't know how you'd work it, but it would save the trouble of deleting those annoying bounce messages.
We used to get the latest greatest virus sent to us from an agency that lots of our users communicate with and I was sending notifications to everyone. 90% of my users thought they'd received a virus which made me look bad even though if they'd actually read the message they'd have known it was just a notification. I stopped sending them to recipeints after that. Since 99.99% of the attachments are generated by the virus these days it's useless to send the message through even after cleaning. After the agency finally started scanning for viruses they also sent notifications to recipients. The next time they got hit I wasted a whole day going around to each user and showing them that it was just a notication they'd received and NOT a virus. Some of them still don't understand and believe that I let a virus through to them and only their rapid identification of the word "virus" in the subject line saved our network from sure destruction. I sent a sternly worded message to the admin spelling out the trouble they'd caused me and it hasn't happened again (keeping my fingers crossed).
