Virus/worm on server

One of my bosses seems to think that servers are free from viruses/worms so long as they are left alone (no one uses it for word processing, etc.). I thought that was crazy bec. of the mere fact that it is the server... everyone in the network is using it! Sure... virus infection could be minimized but infected files could still get in through other means. Besides, companies like Symantec would have no market for NAV for Gateways/Servers if left-alone servers never got infected. So if you were the one to politely explain it, how would you say it? Thanks for your input.
