Today I had a new user try to upload a file called VIRUS.ZIP...

so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected
up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing
the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn
it off.

I have. I've got photo.scr, info.zip, favicon.ico, and now virus.zip
in my prohibited filenames. I may add wildcards of exe, com, etc. as
well.
