We currently use filtering software on our PC's and one of the things we
have decided to block is the downloading of EXE (Programme)files. We have
recently had a number of complaints from the public about this as some
sites such as timetabling sites have strated to use an EXE file to create
a search page. Our Corporate team don't want us to unblock EXE files, as
they fear a virus could get into the network- does anyone else allow EXE
files to be downloaded, and has it caused any problems,
Thanks
