this is defeating the purpose of a cache, unless you get the downloaded
file into the cache somehow.

a better solution might be to setup squid on a different computer. then
have your own simple proxy program listening for http requests. when it
gets one it actually gets the file from your squid running computer.
your program could then check for virus's and return the file
appropriatly.

i dunno, this is just a random idea!
