I've had this problem as well: it's caused by first calling the virus scanner on the whole message (message_contains_virus_xxxx) and then again on each of the attachments.

What I've done: discard the output of message_contains_virus, use just the output from the entity_contains_virus calls. also, I've had to configure my scanner to produce no output if an attachment is clean; messages with several attachments where only one is infected produce quite confusing output otherwise.

Bye, Martin
