I use Norton Anti-virus and it removed the attachments for me.  But I 
get something like 60+ pieces of infected mail a day, which Norton deals 
  with quite nicely by scanning each piece of email as it downloads, 
happily striping viruses out and isolating them.  My secondary machine 
is not effected as its a Linux machine and can open Windows viruses all 
day long without any effect at all.

on the internet at all)
