What would you like to see implemented next?

It looks like several of the typical malicious/fake downloads have switched to *.001 as a file extension instead of the usual archive extensions. Many, if not most, current extract tools still recognize and open these as archives, and it's currently not blocked by either the regular blocklist, nor the permissive one. That's likely the reason for the switch-up.

It would be great if this could be added to both blocklists quickly to stop this flood in its infancy.

Blacklists have been updated. The app needs to be restarted to grab the new version. Thanks for letting me know!
