Default Virus Protection Idea

Ok, i'm sure everyone here knows that if you try to download a program through p2p, you might get a few matches, but 90% of the matches are 851.7kb which is a known virus(W32.Alcra.B).

So, in an effort to a) stop the spread of viruses and b) make it safer to download programs, would it be possible to add a filter to allow you to block files of a certain size?

not sure of what the FW team might do, but to avoid seeing those files, I kick certain vendors from my connections list before doing a search.

With only limewire, bearshare and the like listed, my searches come back pretty clean.

I know this isn't a solution, but it works pretty well when connected as an ultrapeer.
