RE: block zip
As long as you dont open the zip folders you will be fine. Although im not sure about auto-accepting files of your choice.

RE: block zip
i dont see a point to this if u runnin a virus program u should be fine and plus alot of ppl dont know of the mess/apatch and how it removes the file stuff so u can send a exe and dont have to zip it.. cuz if u didnt use em it will ask u to install this virus thing so yea someone can proly come up with something but turn off the autoaccept bro cuz if someones pc is messed and has that pic virus thing and it auto accepts then u will be sorry u know

You can't accept the "picture" virus if it's a link. Even if it's a file, unless you RUN it, it's unlikely to do anything at all, let alone any damage.

Couldn't you just auto-accept files from people that aren't stupid enough to get those viruses?
