Scanning of file for virus when file upload is useded in a HTML form

I hope that I put this in the correct category, but here goes. On my companies website we have a page for the HR department that allows people to apply for jobs. On the form, (no scripts are running) which was created through FrontPage we have a section to paste your resume. Once the form is submitted and emailed to designated email address because of the text box that is used to paste the resume in, all formatting (obviously) is lost. As the request from my HR department they would like to have the resumes uploaded, so all formatting is intact. My concern is what type of security risk does this run for viruses. Are the files scanned RIGHT AWAY after the file is completely uploaded or do we have to wait until the daily scan set in the configuration of the Anti Virus program? We are using Symantec Antivirus Corp Edition 10. Thank you all for your help in this matter!!!!
