You seriously block IE like this? Sounds like you are more worried about
control than anything else...

The amount of resources needed to do real time scanning would be
tremendous.  I doubt it is feasible.  A few simple ways to avoid
viruses/worms/trojans:

1. Don't use Internet Explorer.  I have this in my squid configuration
to enforce this ban (both at home and at the office):

    # exceptions to the No-IE rule
    acl BrowserException dstdomain .mozilla.org
    http_access allow BrowserException

    # don't allow IE to access the internet
    deny_info ERR_BAD_BROWSER BadBrowser
    acl BadBrowser browser MSIE
    http_access deny BadBrowser

2. Scan all downloads before executing them.

3. Have the mail server refuse dangerous attachments such as .exe and
.pif.  Scan all others, especially .zip files.

4. Institute a policy of public hanging for anyone who executes dubious
downloads.
