Sure it can. You simply generate three pages in a row:
1. One with the right URL, and a "redirect" tag, pointing to:
2. One with the message, and a "reload" tag, telling to to load:
3. The virus-checked page, back to the right URL.
The firewall will have to keep a bit of state, but this should work. In fact
you might be able to get by without the intermediate page... just return
the page with a reload tag and the message.
