What kind of files do you attach?

A simple check would be to see the extension and block some of them. For
instance to not allow .exe.

Anyway, In one of our customers' system, users do upload files with virus.
This is done intentionally and part of security incidents.

An finally, the solution you must apply is for one attachment pool or for
all ITSM attachment pools...
