If you're referring to Nigel Metheringham's filter, a little tweakage of
the regexes ought to do. Eg. change
"(?:file)?name=(\"[^\"]+\\\\.(?:vb[se]|ws[fh]|jse?|exe|com|cmd|shs|hta|bat|scr|pif)\")"
to
"(?:file)?name=(\"[^\"]+(?:\\\\.(?:[^.]+))+\\\\.(?:vb[se]|ws[fh]|jse?|exe|com|cmd|shs|hta|bat|scr|pif)\")"
to match (reject) "foo.doc.exe" or "bar.qux.ding.dong.xls.com", but not
"runme.exe". UNTESTED -- YMMV -- in particular I'm not sure if that
should be "[^.]" or "[^\\\\.]".
Hack the other three regexes with "(...|exe|com|...)" in them similarly.
BTW, there's probably a good reason that runme.exe is rejected by the
Nigels standard filter...
