Correct, probably, I look at this this way.  It is the default filter setup,
and people have said over and over that why bother spending cpu cycles
scanning for infections when  something thats already deemed a bad filename.
I forget the link to MS, I think its on the MD faq tho, where MS claims that
these default types are bad and should be a security risk.   It did afterall
come from the horses mouth.
