Sorry, but I have never said that the Bank's mail server doesn't scan

There are two ways you can receive a virus when they scan for viruses on
the server:

1. Their virus software is not as up-to-date as yours.
2. A virus is introduced between the server and you.

I suppose that if they force every workstation to have an active
antivirus utility, and they pay a lot of money to do that, even if
they have strong antivirus protection in all the Email servers and all
Web proxies, they should have some reasons for that, isn't it?

Reasons, yes. GOOD reasons, not likely.
