You probably realise this and are simply worried about idiotic users
randomly clicking on exes or links and want extra layers but thought it
will do no harm to say that personally and in similar fashion to not
doing snort level DPI on servers online I avoid running complex
antivirus scanning engines live inline and which can be exploited on
central points that yield much to an attacker and prefer desktop
hardening and offline drive scanning.

For the same reason, Blackberry servers handling pdfs have proven to be
a bad idea even though the risks are I expect considered where the
techies can deal with them.
