What antivirus are you running? You might want to see about configuring the software to block certain types of extensions. Also, check to see your email server to block certain attachments, so they don't get emailed in.

If you're running a server and your important business files are located on it, then you certainly should be running anti-virus on the server. Make sure you get a file server version of the anti-virus software so it will run as a service which doesn't require you be logged on for it to run. I've had too many clients that "have anti-virus on their server", however it's NOT a server version and the only time it runs a scan is when you log in to the console. Not good for servers if it doesn't run.
