Yow! Yes, please do do the ls first, since there may be other files you
miss, such as calendar files or login_auto alias files or other files
placed in there by other plugins. It is an *extremely* bad idea to have
your attachments directory the same as your data directory. Once you
ferret out the orphaned attachments (not sure why they'd be viruses unless
your system or your users are completely borked), make a separate
attachments directory elsewhere (see website docs for help) and create a
cron job that kills old files something like this:
rm -f `find /var/spool/squirrelmail/attachments -atime +2`
