OK but I am not looking for (gen|lnk|pif|bat|ceo|scr|reg|shs|vbs|exe) in the first 
extension section. So I created a sample extension grouping and entered it like you 
said but is still does not work. Heres my line...

B~name=.*\.(doc|txt|wri|mp3|wav|avi|mpg|mpeg|jpg|gif).(exe|com|bat|pif|lnk|vbs|shs|scr|reg):virusbox

Here is my test...

filename="star.txt.pif"

Also tried...

B~name=.*\.(doc|txt|wri|mp3|wav|avi|mpg|mpeg|jpg|gif).\.(exe|com|bat|pif|lnk|vbs|shs|scr|reg):virusbox

and

B~name=.*\(doc|txt|wri|mp3|wav|avi|mpg|mpeg|jpg|gif).(exe|com|bat|pif|lnk|vbs|shs|scr|reg):virusbox

Due to the way regex processing works, the ".*" can be fooled when a 
meta-characeter "." is present in the double filetype extension, so a 
double pattern works better:

name=.*\(gen|lnk|pif|bat|ceo|scr|reg|shs|vbs|exe).(gen|lnk|pif|bat|ceo|scr|reg|shs|vbs|exe)

but those lists of extensions are not exhaustive.  Missing is com, doc, 
dll, xls, ....
