Hmm, very strange then.

All mail goes through an Exchange 5.5 server running TrendMicro's AV. I
know the AV is working because email with viruses is being flagged at the
server.

No, probably not a false alarm.

Can't help you there. What I DO know is that two or three weeks ago I was
getting a dozen of these messages a day, and each one had an attachment with
a virus. It's down to one or two a week.
