And how do you suppose we check a dll or exe file that is part of the script?

Small team of script testers that can determine what functions are called or what the exe is used for. That way, different people report different things and more malicious code would be stopped.  I'm personally all up for a bunch of us maintaining a list of malicious sites, scripts, programs and other files (zip for example) that, when linked to, get blocked. If it could be built into Plus! the only issue would be all the users downloading the updates would take a lot of bandwidth

Hmmm, I guess that is a good point.  Bandwidth can be minimised with updates based on the time of the last update.  Just adding and removing the changes.

Also, I think because of the different ways you can you can show the same URL, then it would be quite a wise idea to use some more generic regex rather than a definite structure (but that is just my preference).

I guess this feature would be feasible with the community helping Patchou and keeping their eyes out for new problems (and with an adequate disclosure).
