They block things that can be executed with one or two clicks; in the absence of an informed decision. You make an effort to rename the file, demonstrating enough knowledge to be trusted with your own dumb luck. BTW, they don't check RAR for the same reason, requires an informed decision to download, install, and use it instead of ZIP which is built into Windows and MAC now. All "real" programmers I know use RAR anyway (boy could I troll with a line like that :).
