That's kinda the point. Some users *want* this kind of functionality, and some actually need it. Again, it's not that the files will self- perpetuate, it's that they should be cleaned when detected to be infected. That type of detection is best done (for some people, not for all) as part of an on-access scanning solution. (That said, I've been thinking more about the "on write" scanning, and that actually does seem like a *better* solution, since any file on the system will have to have been written at some point - though how that handles files that are infected but not detected when first written is a little beyond me).
