Is the cache just a folder with messages, one message per file?  If so, I
suspect you'll be ok though the next time you retrain from scratch obviously
those files which contained viruses won't be around to yield clues for the
database.  Note however that I'm not a Windows guy, so take that with a
grain of salt.
