If we are already blocking those extensions, how would that help?
If you are already blocking .bat, .com, .pif, and .scr files, the new interim release won't help.
However, if you are not blocking all those files (most of our customers are not), it will help.
It can also be used if you want to allow the good files through. For example, if people have a legitimate need to send .PIF files through, the new blocking of bogus .PIF files should prevent any viruses from getting through with .PIF extensions. .bat/.com/.scr have holes that would allow viruses through, but it's unlikely that any viruses would take advantage of those holes (there are other holes that they can use more easily and gain more from).
