Need button to report virus in files
 
I am scanning the files I download for viruses and sure enough I found three. The file was: Headline Fonts 3.5 distributed by 24.205.88.135:41098 (230). The virus was W32.Alcra.F.

Another file with the same worm: "Top 100 Fonts (Graffiti, Horror, Handwritten &More) - LegalTorrents.zip". I was not able to access the host information.

"20 Different Grafitti Fonts For PC & MAC-LegalTorrents.zip" Host: 75.82.100.144:10419 (1658)

I clicked the buttom "Junk", but I feel there should be a button "Virus Report" that allows users who have discovered viruses in the files they've downloaded. I feel the distributors of such files should be blocked from all access to other unsuspecting downloaders.
:yikes:

Best thing to do is to leave .exe .rar .wma and .zip files alone. They are known to be nothing but trouble. You can filter these out.

Go to Tools > Options > Filters > Keywords. Add the extensions then Apply and OK.

Also see LOTR's suggestions and Link below. Loaded with good info. :D
