URL Filtering Gateways
While you have a good point in just not allowing exe file it just is that simple- who manages the known good sources? Who verifies that the known good sources havn't been compromised?
Drive by attacks can utilize java script, activeX, java applets so this just doesn't fall under the exe umbrella like it used to. A device that actually does packet inspection, can AV/malware/spyware scan, knows about compromised sites and can manage access is the direction that we all need to take.
