I have never, ever used virus scanning as part of a regular upload routine
to my system.  I run a network-wide virus scan once a night to check for
things and in the six years I've run a BBS, I've never once had a virus in
an archive or a file, thankfully.

The only time I ever got viruses was when I opened mail like an idiot
without checking it.  Since I'm back to running Windows, I use AVG, which
is has a plugin for OE, that scans all incoming and outgoing mail as it
goes in and out of my system.

Haven't had a virus since. ;)

Later,
Sean
