Uhh... And what comes next? Scanning Word documents for macro viruses? :\
I prefer downloading unfiltered stuff from the (free)net.

But I agree with you that newbies have to be informed. I think the best way to 
do it is FProxy to have a table {mime type}--{warning message}, e.g.

{audio/x-mpeg}--{Warning! Blabla compromises your anonymity. Blabla for 
example: Winamp, blabla}
{application/msword}--{Warning! Blabla compromises your anonymity. Blabla for 
example: Word macro viruses blabla}

Or group them by file extension or whatever...

The warning message should appear every time the user wants to download such a 
file.

The warning message can be disabled in the config file and in the options 
screen.

Cheers,
