If the users have authorized the suppresion of messages containing virii, then it's perfectly ok to discard them.

Most ISPs allready has conditions that their customers must agree to when signing up (exactly how this is done, and how visible it is to the user, is quite different between different countries), such as rules against spam, harrasment and illegal activities.

They could put a requirement that the user authorize the ISP to supress mails containing virii, trojans and other malicious executable content in their contract/agreement.

Same goes for employers. They can allow personal mail on the condition that the employee authorizes the employer to supress certain mails.
