In a perfect world yes, but in my company all someone has to do is claim I
am causing them to lose a sale, and all rules, and most common sense goes
out the window.
 
Sad but true.

Why are your users sending each other exe and com files? I never allow such
files in through email. I return them to sender. Users who exchange such
files really should zip or rar them

Well maybe I wasn't specific enough. All the big AV sorces seem to have 
these, and they all seem to work with varing levels of success. 

For instance if you search on the phrase "I love You" at NAI or Trend they 
find nothing. If you search on "Naked Wife" they find said virus. At 
CompAss, at William calls it, it's reversed, I can find "I Love You", but 
not "Naked Wife". 

The reason I want this is sometimes we get messages from people in Denamark 
at the parent company, or form outside the building that contain exe files, 
com files, and such with suspious subject lines like "Hi! How are you?" 
Right now I look them up in the various libraries, and delete them. 

Several times these have been real files from Denmark and because of the 
spotty results from these libraries, I didn't feel that just because I 
couldn't find them in one of the libraries, that they weren't really 
viruses, and deleted messages. 

I was just wondering if there is a better library out there, or I am just 
doing something stupid at the search sites?

Don't most Antivirus vendors have searchable virus libraries? 

I think you can search: 
Trend - www.antivirus.com and 
CompAss - www.cai.com 
Using text from the body or subject of a suspected infected email.
