Yep exactly what i think, adding this feature will sure help resolve the virus issue across the msn network (in the meantime), except it also makes it harder to send files that are useful! The user should be warned but not restricted - that way if they are stupid enough to download and run a .pif file then at least Microsoft can say that they were warned.

ya thats wat i think they should do also, i dont want to waste time and zip everything before i send it, but security is a big issue and i guess this is the only way:/
