One thing I still kinda wish 3.8 could do is block an .EXE in a Zip. I tried it, and it lets it through. I know I could block all Zip files, but that's not quite what I was looking for.

Don't forget I've added *.REG to the list.

I just got off the phone with Trend's tech support and apparently there is an "issue" with blocking file extensions. I noticed that SYS and VBS files were not being blocked, even though they were on my list (or Martin's list I should say, although I don't think he had REG on his list and I do have it). Anyway, the reason is because it is now performing the true file type scanning. I've already tested this and it does work. For example, I'm not blocking ZIP, so renaming a ZIP to EXE, which I am blocking, will let it through just fine because it knows it is a ZIP. So, in turn, it registers VBS, BAT, my SYS (which was really a text file renamed) as TXT files, which aren't being blocked. The fix is to list them in the file name box (the box right below the blocked extension list) as *.vbs;*.bat;*.sys, etc. Seems to work so far. So I guess to be safe, I'm going to add all of Martin's extensions to both boxes. Hope this helps someone else.
