 Basically not because SQUID , only deals with the http transport
layer. You can use , a virus scanning box ; in as a parent for
your SQUID sever.

Use adequate anti virus protection on every PC; which has
access to the Internet , proxy-based or not.

The term virus is ment in a broadened meaning here; i.e. modern
anti-virus sellers include spyware blocking too into there product(s).
