    MailScanner/F-Prot/ClamAV/Trend have been screening out dozens of these
    over the last couple of days on my server. I've never seen so many virii
    show up in such a short period of time.

    I don't know why it's not working for you but I'm sure seeing MS doing its
    job. MS kicks out the message for the file extension and the virus
    scanner complain that it contains a virus.
