Hi Ted,

     I am running Antigen on my SPS and I have a filter for exe files in
Antigen. If I rename an EXE to a txt and try to upload it to my SPS, it is
blocked by Antigen.

before. at that moment i tried to upload a GALUpdate.exe to the spps but it
was blocked; then change the file name and upoloaded it again successfully.
But when i change the name back to .exe, the request was rejected.
