it seems difficult to cleanly shutdown a virus transfer w/o buffering and
vetting the whole transfer, since by the time you know there's a virus the
transfer is already in progress to the final destination. presumably the
gateway understands the connection semantics and aborts virus transfers?

Sprint is going to start offering a service where they scan packets before
they enter your network and block those carrying viruses. They use a
firewall from Trend that does pattern matches against a big virus database.
