Hi,

Well you can create rules in the policies for the WWW service to disallow extensions.

Tip: enable Transparent Redirection to capture NAT traffic as well.

go to Banlist tab of ur HTTP service, assuming u want to block downloading to Everyone... tick on "Enable ban list"

add:

"This criterion is met if... HTTP URL or Server name ends with .exe"
"This criterion is met if... HTTP URL or Server name ends with .zip"
"This criterion is met if... HTTP URL or Server name ends with .<or any extension e.g. .ppt, .pdf, .doc, .dat .pif etc..>"
