I am thinking of initially saving file attachments in the database.
I have seen on the 'Yahoo' web site that file attachments are pre-scanned.
This is why I am asking.

That depends on what you want to do with the attachments. How do you
process them? Simple text files for example are unable to contain
virusses
and are thus harmless.
Thats wrong. For example HTML is a simple text-file too, but still can
contain javascript-code and whatever flaws it may have.
For display purposes, use a sandboxed iframe. Then you can display the html
while preventing any js execution.
