Then disable quarantine for these.

We must attempt to avoid generating backscatter by default.  You never
bounce viruses back, ever.  You discard them.  And by default, you
quarantine them to help prevent data loss due to miscategorization by the
antivirus, or due to configuration errors.

The real issue here is why the banned stuff is being considered a virus in
the first place.
