Yeah, but it should at least disable the link.
Why, if the file has been deleted or quarantined? It just won't launch...
The file is not always deleted or quarantined, even if it was found to be infected!!!!
Also, there are already messages build in Messenger to cope with this situation and which tell the user the file is infected and which disable the link (used when Windows Live OneCare is used). It makes perfect sense to also do this for a 3rd party virus scanner.
There is no reason not to disable the link and not to show a warning when the 3rd party virus scanner reports a file is infected.
