Unfortunately that does seem to be the Windows way. The damage is detected, rather than an attempt to cause damage being detected and thwarted. I've seen that time and time again.

Many of them can't be scanned, you have to run the unpacker/installer to get the files out, and by then it's too late to protect yourself from any malware. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
