I think that it would just be too much effort. They would end up removing ALOT of attachments that should not be removed. Plus, virus containment is an ever shifting job. No sooner is a problem found than it is mutated a million times and running havoc. I am sure that most providers see it as a NOP (Not Our Problem).
