Hi All,

After receiving quite a few malware samples and improvement requests,
foxhole databases have now been improved to block exe's / dangerous
extentions in .cab files:

Changes...

foxhole_all.cdb:

* Added Cab to the file types
* File Extensions are now case insensitive

foxhole_generic.cdb:

* Added Cab to the file types

Again, while foxhole_all.cdb will block more malware, it will also block
any legitimate .cab files containing exe's.

Cheers,

Steve
