I'm glad you mentioned that. My script blocks about 60 file extensions using the same MIME extraction methods that it uses to scan for viruses. Windows is dangerous that way - any file which causes some executable to run when you double-click the file could potentially infect the system - a Word doc with an infectious macro set to run on load/startup, for example.
