Viruses could be contained in file extensions that aren't even listed there, it may not be as easy but you can hide worms and stuff inside a ton of extensions, but yes this will stop the amount of viruses being sent via MSN Messenger.

However it seems to me just like Microsoft are trying to create another one of their new security features in their new idea to dominate the computer security market, this though is just scraping the barrel for any idea they can, why don't they just give a warning the first time you send a file saying "It is recommended you install a virus scanner and have it configured to scan incoming files that have been sent by contacts on MSN Messenger", that would suit most people. I am glad to a point this is in, because I'm sick of some people I know constantly (on automatic) sending me crap stuff like the picturecentre and that other one a while back, but I'd prefer just a warning the first time you send a file, or the first few times.

I can't be pestered having to .zip to executable files I send I send. I'm only glad StuffPlug-NG has a feature to do this on-the-fly.

Hopefully MS will remove this "feature", to avoid some people resorting slowly to other IM clients.
